Public to hear Pati updates in House today

The public will hear updates in today’s sitting of the House of Assembly on how the Public Access to Information Act has fared in its first months in effect.

Michael Dunkley will offer details, along with the Public Access to Information Amendment Act 2015.

“The Act simply deals with amendments which we believe are appropriate for after Pati was put in place,” the Premier said. “So far, we believe it has been implemented quite successfully.

“There are some clauses we have to amend. It’s nothing people will disagree with. It’s something we have worked closely on throughout this process.”

Bob Richards, the Minister of Finance, will bring amendments to the Bermuda Public Accountability Board before MPs. Legislators will also consider the Corporate Services Provider Business Exemption Order, and health insurance amendments brought by Jeanne Atherden, the Minister of Health.
