Mr. Speaker, I will provide the House with a report on the Short-Term Stimulus Program that was launched in December of 2020 in the wake of the economic downturn sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the program was to provide economic stimulus to the private sector in order to retain and boost employment within the community.
Mr. Speaker, the information I have shared today speaks solely to the impact of the sanctions on Bermuda and not the foreign policy behind the sanctions.
Mr. Speaker, further to my update to this honourable House on 4 March 2022, I now advise that the situation regarding the sanctions remains fluid. To date the Bermuda Shipping and Maritime Authority has not been impacted. However, I cannot say the same for the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority’s (BCAA) Aircraft Registry.
