A heated exchange occurred in the House of Assembly between Sixth District Representative Myron Walwyn and Premier Dr Natalio Wheatley. The discussion centered around employment opportunities for adults with disabilities.
Walwyn questioned the government's lack of initiatives, despite a $550 million budget for 2026. Premier Wheatley referenced his grandfather's historical contribution to special education, which led to Walwyn interrupting and objecting to the historical account.
Walwyn insisted the Premier address the question at hand. The Premier highlighted the government's investment in a new $4 million learning center and a draft employment policy.
However, Walwyn argued these measures did not address his concern for employment opportunities for differently abled persons.
