The only thing greater than a mother’s love is the love of God, our creator. One of the greatest indications of God’s love is that he gave us mothers. I thank God for mothers.
Greetings, and a blessed Mother’s Day to all the mothers of these Beautiful Virgin Islands. I would especially like to recognize my Wife Suzanne, my Mom Shirley, my Mother in Law Patsy and the mothers of the Fifth District.

"Mothers are like glue. Even when you can't see them, they're still holding the family together." Today, Sunday, May 10 is the day the whole world pauses to celebrate and show appreciation to all mothers.
Whether you gave birth, adopted a child who needed love, or perhaps you may be a guardian, an aunt, wife, or godmother, regardless of how motherhood came to be, I thank God for all of you.

Good day everyone.
You would have heard the Premier and Minister of Finance Honourable Andrew A. Fahie announced that Cabinet decided that beaches will reopen from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. effective May 10, 2020 for the purposes of exercise and therapy.
Today, I greet you in the wonderful name of the Great God of the Universe who continues to have mercy on us as a Territory.
On Monday, April 27 we lifted the 24hour 14-day curfew and we entered the ‘New Regular’—the new way of life living and working with COVID-19 in the British Virgin Islands.
We all stepped out in Faith, trusting in God, under a new curfew from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 P.M. daily, and this would be for the next 14 days until May 10, 2020.
STATEMENT FROM THE HONOURABLE PREMIER AND MINISTER OF FINANCE
