Good morning Mr. Speaker, Honourable colleagues, all Turks and Caicos Islanders, and the entire resident population in the Turks & Caicos Islands. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to lend my support to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Bill 2015. Please allow me to congratulate this Government for presenting this bill to the House after three long hard years that small businesses have been suffering. While I would like to shout to the business world that help has finally arrived, Mr. Speaker, I feel like I would be setting our struggling business persons up for more disappointment from this Government therefore, I would not do so.
