Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Bermuda House of Assembly I understand the reason for the Fund and the need for the Fund. I guess the confusion comes from maybe the name of the Fund, because it indicates that it is just going to be for FinTech development.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It is not a criticism of the naming of the Fund, I am just thinking that people are not going to know what the benefits of this Fund ar e besides FinTech education.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker . I just want to start off by giving a brief history on a very little known person, a Miss Grace Hopper. Miss Grace Hopper was a computer technician in the United States Navy.

And long story short, that is where I actually learned about Grace Hopper, be-cause my instructor at the time was telling me, Look, we’re gonna ‘Grace Hopper ’ this, and he explained it to me.

Yes. And the Honourable Member , Trevor Moniz, says that there is trust. Yes, there is trust involved.
