00:00Now, why should anybody believe the Prime Minister? Why should Tobagonians believe the Prime Minister?
00:07The legislation has already been passed the way that it already is without mentioning any consultation with the Chief Secretary,
00:17and that is already done.
00:20Kajil Lewis said only PR stunts are being dished out by the TPP.
00:25Mr. Joel Samson, representative for Tobago West, raised the matter.
00:30It was probably just for the PR purposes, because at the end of the day when committee stage came,
00:36he didn't raise the matter in committee stage to have it actually, to have his proposal or his recommendation inserted
00:42in the bill.
00:44So if Joel Samson was serious about having the Chief Secretary included, then he would have raised it at committee
00:52stage.
00:53She said the treatment of the Chief Secretary by the government may just be another radar scenario.
00:59As it relates to consultation, we may end up with another radar situation, but that isn't really my major concern
01:10here, Liz.
01:13I want to know how Tobago gets in this, because looking at the fact that tourism is our mainstay,
01:20tourism is the lifeblood of the Tobago economy, there ought to be some sort of consultation with the people of
01:27Tobago,
01:28with tourism businesses, with the different stakeholders who are responsible for driving the economy, and that has not happened.
