PATI in the Senate

June 26th, 2008 · No Comments

I am pleased to see the following Motion in the Senate this afternoon:

(4) Motion to be moved by Senator M.H. Dunkley, notice of which was given on 12th March, 2008: “That the Senate recommends that a Joint Select Committee be established to oversee the introduction and implementation of Public Access to Information legislation in Bermuda.”

Notwithstanding the unexplained delay since March (while other Motions on the Agenda are only days old), this should be a no-brainer as both political parties are on the record as supporting PATI.

Right?

[Footnote:  they rolled the motion over again.  The last thing this Government wants is a PATI law, particularly one that has been arrived at by consensus.]
