The Opposition is calling on Government to “come clean” and tell the people of Bermuda whether it’s still behind developer Carl Bazarian and his plans to build a resort on the old Club Med site.Mr Bazarian was on the Island this week to meet with Government officials but there was no photo opportunity arranged with the US-based developer as he announced he could break ground on phase one of the project as soon as this year and the hotel, spa and golf course could open in 2015.Tourism Minister Wayne Furbert has refused to comment on Mr Bazarian’s statements, leading many commenters on our website to criticise the silence from Government and question what’s really going on.What Mr Furbert has said is “the time period for the agreement has expired and “the agreement has lapsed”. He took back a remark made on ZBM news that the contract with Mr Bazarian had actually been terminated.It’s not clear what Government now intends to do about the agreement having “lapsed”.Shawn Crockwell, the Shadow Tourism Minister, last night slammed the confusion surrounding the Bazarian lease.“Bermudians, especially the people of St George’s, can be forgiven for being confused about the status of the Park Hyatt project,” Mr Crockwell said.“First it’s on, then it’s off, then it’s on, then Minister Furbert says it’s off, then he says it’s on.”Mr Crockwell continued: “This week, we hear the developer announce a scaled down plan for the hotel that could start construction before the year’s end, depending on what was reported as a ‘renewed commitment’ to the project — all this without any comment from the Government and with a Tourism Minister nowhere to be seen.“What is going on? The Government, when asked for comment, says ‘No comment.’ The Government has got to come clean about what is going on.”Mr Crockwell asked: “Does it support the project in light of its failure to start construction on time? Is its agreement with the developer still in force? Is it prepared to extend deadlines? Does it support the scaled down project as indicated by the developer? Where is the Minister to answer these basic questions?“The last thing Bermuda needs on this project is more questions and doubts and more rounds of promises, this time about a hotel ‘open and running by early 2015’.”One commenter on our website wrote: “How does a lease, whose time line has lapsed, making it therefore void and NO longer binding (or legal), suddenly receive CPR, is risen from the dead, and is suddenly alive and well and reborn to begin life again by year's end?”Another commenter said: “Why is he announcing this by himself? If true shouldn't the Premier, Tourism Minister, and the rest of Cabinet be there with him on this great announcement?”Mr Bazarian declined to comment further when asked whether the Government was still behind him and his plans.He did say his local design team was Conyers & Associates.UBP St George’s MP Kim Swan added to his criticism of Government, saying last night: “The failure of the PLP Government to provide a statement to date may be [a] political ploy but it is showing utter contempt for the principles of good governance, best practices and transparency.“It is noteworthy that the Government chose not to stand with Mr Bazarian yesterday and with their continued silence on the status of the breach of the lease, clearly raises more questions than answers.”Mr Swan added for four years now the St George's Golf Course has been “sitting idle and overgrown” making St George’s less marketable and “the deplorable state of the property now is having a negative impact on neighbouring property values”.
