“If Her Majesty’s representative in Bermuda does not give assent to something that has been passed lawfully and legally under this local government, this will destroy the relationship that we had with the United Kingdom,” Premier David Burt said, adding that he expects “the UK government will listen to the democratic voice of the people of this country.”
The Premier was speaking at the end of the debate in the House on the Cannabis Licensing Act, which lasted more than 8 hours, with the bill now set to head to the Senate after passing in the House.
Premier Burt said, “The Attorney General in her brief stated, and I quote, ‘To be clear, the Governor has indicated that she will be unable to assent to any legislation that contravenes our international obligations.’
Minister, Premier Clarify Remarks About Results
“There were no errors with the machinery or the testing process,” Minister of Health Kim Wilson said, explaining that testing process “has been working correctly,” however “unfortunately, on these isolated occasions, persons received the wrong email.”
This follows after the Minister’s statement during last night’s press conference, which said, “The Ministry of Health would also like to advise the public of an unfortunate glitch which occurred at the MDL lab last week that led to the issuance of negative test results to a number of people who were in fact Covid-19 positive. This is extremely unfortunate, and the Ministry fully understands and regrets any distress or confusion caused to individuals and their close contacts regarding the negative results. I have been assured by the lab that they have reviewed their processes and structures, and put in place measures to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.”
