The government launched a new initiative named the 'Catch the Rain' campaign to address water conservation. ^[1] The Bermuda Chamber of Commerce stated that while it supports the goal of easing the cost of living, it does not support the Cost-of-Living Commission Amendment (No. 2) Bill 2026. ^[2] The government has decided to invite district-level tenders for supplying Indira food kits to Anna Bhagya beneficiaries. ^[3] The Dutch pension sector is demanding hard guarantees from the government before it can allocate billions in funds. ^[4] The 'Catch the Rain' campaign has placed renewed focus on water conservation efforts. ^[5] The campaign is part of a broader government effort to address growing pressure on groundwater and local water resources. ^[6] The Chamber argued that the $4.6 million in grocery duty relief proposed in the Bill is insufficient, amounting to roughly $3 per household per week across Bermuda's approximately 30,000 households. ^[7] The Chamber noted that the number one reason Bermudians cite for leaving the island is the cost of living, a fact confirmed by the Government's own survey work. ^[8] The Chamber stated that the underlying regulations for the Commission were made and in force before the industry meeting, and the Bill's substantive text was seen only days before House passage. ^[9] Initially, the government had planned to invite a state-level tender for supplying the kits. ^[10] The government must address the pension sector's concerns to proceed with the planned financial deployment. ^[11] The initiative specifically targets households to encourage changes in water usage habits. ^[12]
