Good morning to you and the listening audience. Mr. Speaker, yesterday was a somewhat sad day for us here at Cedar Aviation and the broader ai rport family because we laid to rest Mr. Ervin Burg ess.

Okay. Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker, and those in the listening audience and my fellow colleagues. Mr. Speaker, I woul d like to add a few comments to the discussion on the, I guess, generally characterised as “no- fault” divorce because, on the face of it, I think the headlines could quite easily say that the PLP is now making divorce …

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to speak to the ongoing crisis that Bermuda faces, which has really been exacerbated by the sudden resig nation of the Finance Minister. I am not sure to what extent I can speak to the disaster, that is, a budget that loses its Finance Minister on the eve of Budget day. …

—and to those who are in the listening audience. Mr. Deputy Speaker, some time ago, several years ago actually, I wrote an article that was pu blished in the Bermuda Su n and it reflected on part of my childhood where I grew up in the Devonshire area. And we used to go down to Devonshire Dock quite a bit. …

“I have warned Bermudians repeatedly about the disaster that neglect and mismanagement of the economy would lead to. ” (In his words.) “ The former finance minister, for all of his credentials and experience, has been a part of that mismanagement. He has presided over a deteriorating fiscal situation without any concrete solutions. ” And to skip to one other …

The last thing I want to say, Mr. Deputy Speaker, is this. It goes back partly to what MP Lovitta Foggo said a lot earlier. One of my constituents died and I went to his service, of course. And one of the comments was that he used to drive quite a bit. He was an older gentleman. His comment was …
