And what about the Cape Town Treaty that Mr. Cartwright and others have been pressing for? Though the window of opportunity has probably closed pretty much. More revenue lost.
STB has held the governments feet to the fire over a series of environmental issues.
Some of the members are also part of the RUBIS fight where Min. Fitzgerald got caught with his pants down by his ankles for keeping a report, that affected the health and safety of his constituents, secret for 2 years.
One has to ask if he had something to gain for not taking care of his constituents.
So he has an ax to grind with anyone connected to the Rubis matter.
If Dame Sawyer is correct, it means that, since 1973, ALL children born outside The Bahamas to a Bahamian woman, married to a foreign man, should be given their citizenship right away.
It also means that ALL foreign husbands of Bahamian women should be given their citizenship right away, just as the foreign women of Bahamian men got theirs.
I would like to hear what the "No" voter have to say about that.

**Mr. Wilson is absolutely correct. We need Registered Land yesterday.**
I am told that there are a lot of lawyers who don't do anything but land transactions and that Registered Land would put many of them out of business.
It is this group of lawyers, who, I understand, often get their secretaries to do the work for them, are fighting not to lose this gravy train.

When Our Constitution was written it was inconceivable that MP's would behave the way they do today.
It would appear that they need a set of rules that is thousands of pages long.
Sad, when they were elected to run the Country for the benefit of ALL Bahamians.
They should be the first to uphold the law.
**We must not forget that the Constitution is the supreme document not the MP's.**
That means that the Court, which is charged with the interpretation of the law, can send an Order to the members of the House to follow the law.
