At least there is ONE Government minister who is communicating directly and consistently the stakeholders. And by introducing a second tier of stakeholders it widen, extends, opens and makes transparent what the relevant issues.

Had the Government taken the time, opportunity and interest in having dialogues with stakeholders on the issue of PRC holders, Bermuda may have averted the misinformation and calculated spin being placed in the public domain. The Government’s absence and silence fuels suspicion and mistrust, if you do not engage in clear, regular and concise dialogue then others will, then an otherwise simple issue to explain becomes buried in social discord and unrest. Those “others” may not necessarily be the Opposition as supporters can be just as calculated to spin to cause mischief and ongoing turmoil.

@Bluebiird…

If you are living in the UK, you could be paying 40% in taxes of your income over £30,000. So be grateful that the Government has not raised your taxes to cover the shortfall. Rather than moan (I marvel at how this word means to ‘complain’ in Great Britain) about it, join Terry in having a rum – dark and stormy? It’s going to be a very long hot and humid summer – enjoy the cool breezes!

The first thing they should have had on the agenda was meeting with Banking representatives.
I need a rum.

Did they discuss the $2.5Billion dollar “DEBT”
Did they discuss the $276Million dollar Goverment borrowing
to keep the Goverment employees “PAID”
Did they discuss “BALANCING” the BUDGET buy stop borrowing.
Did they discuss that the ECCONOMY is still going down for the “SIXTH” year.
Did they discuss a “FALLING” population and and “OLD” population.
There is NO way the ecconomy is comming back with such “HEAVY TAXES”
a HUGE civil service and too manny regulations.
