Bahamasair should be shut down. It serves no purpose other than a huge drain on Public Funds.

If we had not just wasted $100 million on 5 new planes for Bahamasair there would be no problem.

If, and that is a big if, there really were 32,000 new jobs created

Number of new jobs required to keep up with population approximately 25,000. Real extra jobs created 7,000.

Reality is probably not more than one or two thousand new jobs. Never able to create the 10,000.

Dr. Minnis urged, did not demand. They have not given it so tell us what you think it should say and explain to us why, why we should be following your line of thinking.

You should cause a national debate on this report.

For the love of God and Country, please show us that you can lead or resign.

By and large there are many other places in our area, Cayman, Cuba, Jamaica and the DR to mention a few, that are far more attractive to investors.

That is why Turks & Caicos and Cayman can be said to have full employment.

Ease of doing business says it all.

We must resist NHI with as much resistance as possible until the government fixes the PHA 's accountability so that it becomes efficient before nhi is introduced.

To do otherwise will speed up the bankruptcy of the finances of The Bahamas and then no one will get anything.

On $100m NHI budget ‘isn’t much money’
