    Didn't it just have some sort of heads of government meeting here last week? What will they discuss that they didn't talk about already. Climate change I guess while nothing is being done. Is our Mister Premier making sure he don't miss anything overseas or do all of them sit and plan to make sure it going always have a conference somewhere for all of them to go at the expense of the treasury. Is like doing a set a exams and still dunce

    Mr. Premier, our roads are a disgrace. At this point, both you and Hon. Rhymer need to be fired.

    The Premier will be signing on to the free movement of Caricom nationals, as well as ensuring that no child born in the Territory is rendered stateless, which is against the UN Declaration on Human Rights.
