Mr. Speaker, today I am tabling the Bill entitled the Invasive Aliens Species Act 2021; legislation that will greatly enhance the island’s biosecurity against the introduction and spread of pest species. 

Mr. Speaker, Invasive alien species, are “plants, animals, pathogens and other organisms that are non-native to an ecosystem, and which may cause economic or environmental harm or adversely affect human health. In particular, they negatively impact local ecosystems and ecosystem functions through competition, predation, or transmission of pathogens”.  

Today Bermuda Public Schools commenced the first day of school for students.

Many schools began the day with energising remote assemblies and one-on-one lessons to welcome students to a new year of learning for the 2021-2022 academic year.

We are happy to share that by next week we will have Chromebooks in the hands of 1349 students from Primary 3 to Primary 6. These are devices that students will use for in-person or remote learning, and when doing assignments at home.
