Mr. Speaker, I wish to update this Honourable House on certain developments as regards to publicly accessible registers of beneficial ownership.

Good Morning All,

I am pleased to be here yet again, as recovery is on the move.

During my first meeting with the Premier and Cabinet, as Director of Tourism, the Premier said that I was having my baptism by fire. Indeed I am. But I am built for firefighting.

A pleasant good day to each and every one of you.

In life, change is the only constant. It may sound like a cliché, but it is true.

Good afternoon to each and every one. I recognise the protocol as established.

Today is another great day for the people of the Virgin Islands.

We are moving forward with BVILOVE.

During an innovation business symposium in December 2019, I announced that the Government of the Virgin Islands was moving forward with a rigorous economic development and diversification strategy, in which we developed and incorporated the concept of BVILOVE which is tied to our aggressive “green and innovative” legislative agenda for 2020.

Good day and God’s blessings to the people of the Virgin Islands.  During my statement on the reopening of schools on Tuesday, 25^th August, 2020, I announced that our phased plan to reopen schools was derailed due to a spike in COVID-19 cases in the Territory.

It is indeed good to be here as we unveil the new logo that will be the new face of the Ports industry in the Virgin Islands.

STATEMENT GIVEN BY THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

covid-19 UPDATE – PHASED INTERNAL REOPENING

Good day to all,

As you know, I have served as Governor to the Virgin Islands for just over three years. A great deal has happened during that time, but one thing that has remained constant is my commitment to serving the people of BVI.
