You wait till now to want a healthy constructive conversation with the GBPA? You may get one or two now, because it suits them. They have not bothered, nor were they interested, in any conversation with you before. When was the last time the GBPA went to its Licensees? You are misguided. Fred Mitchel, as Chairman of the PLP, not as Minister, made it clear that the Government is in favour of the Hawksbill Creek Agreement, just not the families. Mr. Gape is correct in what he says.
I highly doubt that any of the following are going to solve the multi-billion dollar questions. “the University of the Bahamas, Quality Home Centre, Bahamas Humane Society, the Agricultural Development Organisation, the Ministry of Education, BAARK or the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture”. It will cost thousands of dollars to review something that is of no cosequence. May be Mr. Ray expects to find the answer in dog shampoo used by the Bahamas Humane Society. Clearly a waste/abuse of the crditors funds. This should be considered unjust inrichment.
"taxpayer subsidies that keep the national flag carrier in the air have been slashed by 50 percent compared to outlays that peaked at more than $78m during the height of the COVID pandemic."
It is interesting that government is happy to spend $39m on Bahamasair but not on Garnd Bahama and Abaco in Dorian Tax relief. Very interesting!
Governmnets approach has always been short sighted when it came to Grand Bahama and the Port Area in particular. Mr. Darville is correct in that the Government does not pay for the up keep of the infrastructure, like the roads that everyone drives on in the Port Area. The home owners even pay for their garbage to be collected, no Nassau Government there either.

How did the vessel get all the way to Andros without the Bahamas Defence Force not stopping them.
If we have migrants it is because the Defence Force is not doing its job.
They have several modern vessels, where are they?
