The One Bermuda Alliance’s latest release is a blatant misrepresentation of facts and a clear indication of a party that cannot even remember what was discussed in Parliament. The claim that the Gilbert Institute’s future use was just announced is false—this was publicly outlined by the Government in a ministerial statement by Minister Burch on December 13, 2024, and reported widely in the media.
The OBA’s inability to keep up with developments that are shared in the Legislature raises serious concerns about their credibility. If they cannot keep track of key announcements made in the House, how can they be trusted to govern?
Education reform is about building a stronger future for our children. The PLP has invested in modernising our schools, phasing out middle schools, expanding signature learning programs to teach trades to our young people, and ensuring that school facilities continue to serve the community. This includes repurposing sites like the Gilbert Institute to meet critical needs, such as a Seniors Daycare facility or the Heron Bay site to support cooperative food enterprises, reducing costs for Bermudians.
Given that the OBA does not support the conversion of Gilbert into a Senior Daycare facility, maybe the OBA can explain how they intend to ease the pressure on the “Sandwich Generation.” The PLP has heard Bermudians challenged with raising children while supporting their ageing parents and has a plan; the OBA has no plan and is content with sending false media statements that do not address the challenges Bermudians face.
