    HON. DIONISIO D’AGUILAR, M.P. MINISTER OF TOURISM & AVIATION BUDGET SUBMISSION 6 JUNE 2019 Mr. Speaker, I rise on the behalf of the great people of Freetown to support this third FNM Budget. Mr. Speaker, I must say I was immensely impressed with the Budget presentation of the Minister of Finance. Mr. Speaker, There were no new major taxes, a tweek here and a tweek there, and the Bahamian people were assured of a Government that is honest, transparent, free of scandal that is responsibly managing the economy of The Bahamas in the best interests of the Bahamian people. Yes, there was no new sexy programs like Mortgage Relief, or BAMSI or Carnival which sounded great on paper but when it came to execution, cost the Bahamian people tens of millions of squandered taxpayer money and provided the genesis for the introduction of the dreaded VAT. What Exuma failed to mention is that, after all the failed programs launched by the Christie Davis Hanna Martin Administration, we need a period where the private sector is encouraged to do what it does best and that is grow the economy and create real …… jobs instead of the thousands upon thousands of 2 government jobs that the Bahamian taxpayer could ill afford to support. Mr. Speaker, I humbly ask the Bahamian people, whose hands would you rather trust the future of your children? A PLP government that is full of great promises, that will have big parties and splash out millions upon millions to their friends and supporters for unnecessary, poorly planned projects while bills to the ordinary Bahamians go unpaid .or a FNM ……… government that will manage your money prudently and ensure that you see where your valuable tax payer money is being spent as you move about in your Bahamaland.
