Of course they won't hire back as many. They are realizing they are able to do more with less. Also at a guess they will all be using this to get rid of the problem makers who the unions protected.
This is the problem over here. We talk a good talk, but do not follow through with our actions. In the next year or so i expect many projects to be green lighted that will cause great environmental harm. But thats OK, as at COP our PM said some great words.
***He added that the Committee would first need to come to grips with, and gain an understanding of, issues such as how much of the Government’s debt is denominated in foreign currency as opposed to Bahamian; whether there are any “balloon payments” attached to specific issues; the flexibility of creditors and lenders; the split between long and short-term debt; and the tenors and maturities for every debt tranche.*** Umm should the Central Bank and Ministry of Finance not have this information available at the click of a button? Or is this something that will take 6 months to a year to work out so this next committee can pretend to be working?
So you get rid of the emergency orders and replace them with in effect emergency orders. This is like the VAT to 10%, but we are increasing plenty of other items so you lose out situation. Apart from what looks like no curfew the rest are the same or worse (now if vaccinated you need to show a test to go indoor dining).
So if i have a company that operates inside and outside the bubble i will be able to mandate that all employees must be vaccinated? I assume that means the big hotels can do this and then the need for staff to pay for their own Covid tests is gone.

If they put VAT back on Homeowners insurance there will be no increased spending by homeowners. That 10% would wipe out any 2% savings on other items.
