Mister Speaker I will now turn to what we are doing as a Territory to build the BVI’s Energy Sector.

Mister Speaker, as I continue to keep this Honourable House informed on the matters that affect these beautiful British Virgin Islands, I wish now to update this Honourable House on Brexit through the lens of our economy.

Mister Speaker, my statement is titled. Thank you God.  Mister Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to thank God for keeping His guiding hands on this Government, the unconventional Government. In other words, we walk by faith and not by sight—this is what we mean by unconventional. God lead, we trust Him and follow!

Mister Speaker, I thank the Honourable Minister for Health and Social Development and his team for keeping the public informed about the status of the virus and how the Territory is mitigating the risks associated with its outbreak.

This morning I assented to the Computer Misuse and Cybercrime (Amendment) Act, 2019, bringing the amendments into effect. Before giving assent, I considered the provisions in the amended Act very carefully. Many of these amendments are positive steps and are needed to deter nefarious online behaviour such as cyberbullying, to prevent and identity theft and fraud, and to protect children and vulnerable people.

At the Ministry of Health, we monitor disease outbreaks and health emergencies at home and abroad, including Dengue, Chikungunya and TB, through to emerging threats such as the outbreak of the novel (new) coronavirus in Wuhan, China.
