Supplem entary. Would the Honourable Member be aware that, when former Permanent Secretary Bill Francis and I visited NIST to actually set up the seminar which occurred a day or so ago, at the time NIST actually offered—and they do this with other countries, as well— to provide internships which might be of use to both the government and the …

New question. I think the Honourable Member may have addressed this to some degree. But I would be interes ted to know what the Honourable Member’s timeline is in terms of addressing not only Government’ s issues with respect to cybersecurity, but also critical national infrastructure, such as the hospital and BELCO and other important structures. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we have been speaking very conceptually here in the last couple of speakers. And I wonder, because I suspect the listening audience probably has no idea what a shared benefit would be or what the mischief is that these amendments are trying to address. Could the Honourable Premier give us an example, perhaps, of …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, just by way of a fairly brief comment here, it is interesting how this area has evolved. I can recall that when I was Minister of Finance in the mid-1990s, the issue at that particular time was trying to protect Bermudian companies and exempt companies against fishing expeditions by the Internal Rev enue Service. …

Thank you , Mr. Speaker . Mr. Speaker , I just wanted to make a couple of points in support of what my honourable colleague Jeanne Atherden has said.

Yes, the Honourable Member is misleading the House. Either he was not listening or he did not understand my point. My point was that if the Government intended to take it up wit hin a week, as opposed to the normal two weeks —and they would have known that because of the 30th of September deadline here —that they could …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is a question, as you noted, on the Statement of Supplementary Estimates, to the Premier. Is the Honourable Member aware that, follo wing the AC [America’s Cup] events in July, due to r esponsible budgeting and careful cost control, the A CBDA has projected a cash surplus for the rest of the year that will …
