There is nothing wrong with the Hawksbill Creek Agreement (HCA). It is a very good agreement. It needs both the government and the Port Authority to honour it.
Many other countries are now using it as a matrix to encourage Foreign Direct Investment.
The Agreement provides much more flexibility than the Industries Encouragement Act (IEA).
The IEA requires you to keep going to government to beg for things so is far too political.

Let's see, $100 million waste in the Ministry of Health.

That should save more than 700 lives.
No need for NHI.
On PM: NHI is about saving lives, not winning votes

Good points Mr. Albury. No one, that I have spoken to, wants government running the Port Authority.
Most are aware that the government, by its indecision, is a major cause of the lack of investment.
