I remember people having to go outdoors to go to the bathroom. I don't see that kind of poverty in 2010. When I was young, some households would have ten to 12 children in a room. Children shared beds until they were adults, much less rooms. Now my grandchildren all have their own bedrooms and their own computers.” Government Senator LaVerne Furbert accused child welfare campaigner Sheelagh Cooper of exaggerating the extent of Bermuda's poverty. The head of the Coalition for the Protection of Children stated that 50 percent of black female-headed households with children lived at or below the poverty line when the 2000 census was taken.“When you prohibit drugs, the effect has to be that the supply of drugs on the streets increases. It doesn't go down, it goes up. Every time we tweak our legislation and make it more draconian increasing the fines and jail sentences and so on the entrepreneurs follow. The prices go up. That encourages more entrepreneurs to become involved.” Former PLP MP Delaey Robinson told the joint parliamentary select committee on violent crime and gun violence that Bermuda's leaders needed to concentrate on the underlying issues causing crime if they were to make any progress.
