Mr. Speaker:

I wish to report to this Honourable House on the damages inflicted on The Bahamas as a result of the passage of Hurricane Frances and Hurricane Jeanne. In the main, my Report will focus rather extensively on Hurricane Frances and I will give an Addendum Report on Hurricane Jeanne at the end of the main Report.

Hurricane Frances, a Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale passed through The Bahamas, from Thursday, 2^{nd September through Sunday, 5th September, approximately four weeks ago.  more click here}
