The Government of Bermuda has released the latest episode of Leaders on the Record, featuring the Minister of Home Affairs, the Hon. Alexa N. H. Lightbourne, JP, MP.

This episode covers two central policy areas within the Minister’s Portfolio: Bermuda’s application for full CARICOM membership and the future of the island’s electricity sector.

On CARICOM, the Minister outlines the case for full membership as set out in the Government’s Green Paper, The Story of Us.

Minister Lightbourne addresses common questions about what full membership would mean for Bermuda, explains the public consultation process, and underscores that no final decision will be made without public input. And as a reminder residents can share their views at togetherforcaricom.gov.bm.

On energy, the Minister discusses the Government's National Electricity Sector Policy and the structural challenge facing Bermudian households: electricity costs that remain among the highest in the world. The conversation covers the balance between sustainability and affordability, the direction of long-term energy planning, and what reform means for rate payers.

The public can still share their feedback on the future of Bermuda’s energy policy via forum.gov.bm.

Leaders on the Record gives the public direct access to Ministers explaining policy decisions, responding to concerns, and taking questions beyond the headline.

Episode Four featuring the Minister is now available: Leaders on the Record — Minister Alexa Lightbourne
