If expats are needed to be brought to create jobs for Bermudians, OBA tell us what are those work permit positions. What type of jobs Bermudians will be giving. We don’ t just say this will happen, we need to be especific so the public get to understand your ideas.
It would be great to see the specifics and research for many of the decisions from both parties. People really, really want a government willing to put democracy to work, let the people’s concerns be heard and respected. People have felt patronized and disenfranchised.
Please truly consider the rights of your youngest, yet voiceless constituents; the children who will inherit the Bermuda we leave behind. Will they be too undereducated and unqualified to live in the Bermuda you wish to create. We have imported a work force for many, many years, it would be great to know the positions that are least often filled by Bermudians so that we can at least try to groom our students to meet those needs.
Will Bermuda’s history and traditional values matter or will money and political correctness rob Bermuda of her greatest strength of being another world. We can only be Bermuda, why be a cheap imitation of anyplace else in the world.
