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.

Also make the bank provide the services with the same ease of application as they do for Canadian businesses.

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.

With global warming the country should try to amass as much wealth as possible, including selling the limestone. In 100 to 150 years it will be underwater anyway.

You would think that they did this all themselves. Check out one of the Buildings and you will see that it was paid by a foreifn bank.

Trust the GBPA to make a claim off the backs of others.

GBPA is disgusting.

Dr. Forbes is the only one who sounds as if she has a grip on this.

She is our Dr Fauci.

Economist says...

Agreed, you need a "leader" who can get people to embrace the protocols. Much like the leaders of New Zealand, Germany and Iceland.

This is a time for the PM to step up to the plate and hit the home run.

Why keep it cheap and simple by using Zoom when you can spend large sums of the peoples money (kick back to any civil servants?????) and it not work?

True to form. The Minister would have been advised by his civil servants. They are more to blame than the minister.

Wow Tal, and yet we decided that the 45,000 tests that Cayman was selling in April/May (at cost) were too expensive.

$7333 a day is crazy.

Shows you how desperate Minnis is now.

Kelly's needs to be congratulated. **They have shown faith in the Grand Bahama community.**

They could have done like Hutchison, take the insurance money and run.

Insted, they have persevered through a grueling clean up, and then a througher renovation.

**Through all this, they kept their employees** and, I understand, continued to pay salaries.

congratulations kelly's freeport!

Economist says...

If it were any other island Minnis would have locked them down weeks ago.

If they want to open the Tourist season on 1st November he needs to get New Providence spread under control.

A comprehensive lockdown , like he did in Grand Bahama, would stop the spread.

But that would require real leadership on Minnis part.
