    The Bermuda Construction Safety Council Police Headquarters 2020 Summit Address By Mr. Brendon Harris Safety Coordinator June 2020 To his Excellency the Governor John Rankin, the Honourable Premier David Burt, the Minister of Safety Wayne Caine’s and the Commissioner of Police Stephen Corbishley. We meet today to consider questions, of great moment. Covid 19 has demonstrated to the world its aggressive intentions. It has already infected Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. On top of that it has reached our shores and claimed the lives of our very own citizens. Furthermore, overseas racial tensions have erupted from peaceful to violent protests. Simultaneously we are here preparing for an upcoming global recession. All while facing the beginning of a hurricane season. Councilwoman, I believe these are all just causes for our Summit.I refer to: Section 1 of the Constitution.Whereas every person in Bermuda is entitled to the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual, that is to say, has the right, whatever his race, place of origin, political opinions, colour, creed or sex, but subject to respect for the rights and freedoms of others and for the public interest, to each and all of the following, namely: life, liberty, security of the person and the protection of the law; freedom of conscience, of expression and of assembly and association; and protection for the privacy of his home and other property and from deprivation of property without compensation. As part of our National self identity it is imperative that we continue communicating with each other, educating our selves and assessing the risks involved with our health and safety and our environment.
