When your standards are low, you expect everyone else to lower theirs to meet yours. This propaganda is written at high school level and does an unconvincing job at confirming any type of justifiable change that is beneficial to Bermudians.

Neville Tyrrell has spent a lifetime living on a taxpayer funded Government paycheck. Would you expect anything different from him to being oblivious to reality? He is not alone. Many in the PLP Government have their roots firmly planted in the civil service.

Thank you Minister Hayward for the update.

The one area that needs to be focused on are the “trades” The hotels / insurance seem to have an open access to permits for plumbers. Welders electricians ( have no object to this to fulfill deadlines) ; but what about trade jobs permits for locals especially Bermudians wanting to add housing inventory for Bermudians (specifically affordable housing ) – Bermudian contractors, architects, attorneys are to busy and certainly to expensive for a developer to justify cost vs even a break even model for affordable homes its pure math
The Government I hope may consider this in the future; if you “limit supply to stagnate competition” and this equals housing affordable issues

“Minister of Economy and Labour Jason Hayward has recently delivered a series of immigration updates that demonstrate a careful, measured, and forward-looking approach to one of Bermuda’s most important policy areas”

Neville Tyrrell seems to be as oblivious to reality as Jason Hayward is.
