I agree with Fred Mitchel. The accident investigators took to much time.

The plane was in one piece and there were no major injuries.

No "real" airport stays closed for 48 hours (it just opend around lunchtime today) for an excursion like this.

Third world country on display.

PM please put in place a reliable (Hurricane resistant) 21st Century banking system that offers the same services as they do to businesses of all catagories in Canada and at the same cost as Canada.

Do you have any idea why it takes weeks and months to open a bank account in The Bahamas and the same bank opens accounts in Canada on the same day?

Solve the above and then make your statement.
