They control private islands, can sanitize and put rules/procedures in place. Bay street is the wild west as far as Covid exposure is concerned.
seems we don't need a minister of tourism anymore.

There is a tariff dispute betwen the U.S. and Canada that has been going on for 37 years.
That plays into it also. Shingles on allocation. Plywood up 30%
regular soft wood lumber. He ain't lying.
We are the flea on the Camels backside.

First cost on everything is increasing. Commodities fluctuate all the time, Covid has created serious supply issues.
Meats, chicken, all manner of foodstuffs and Lumber, plywood, shingles, all of it.
Far beyond the control of this Government.
Besides, can you even find rubbing alcohol locally?
Cheaper buy 151.......

Commodities. Market forces.

Always writing new legislation to overcome OUR failure at the current legislation.
Zero enforcement will only remain entrenched no matter what the written rules are.
Insofar as his perspective on updating and developing the code I agree, revisions are always occurring, and should. By Competent and qualified people.

And BTW, the problem is you don't learn from your mistakes, or the mistakes of others. you keep bungling the same things over and over! It get very old!!
i understand the challenge Covid presents but flip flopping and surprise lockdowns with poorly written legislation written AFTER the FACT!

So, did he tender his resignation? Precedent was set with Sands.........
Of course, being we have a singular "competent" authority perhaps the buck aught to stop there?
Or maybe it will be three strikes and he is out?

Well, I suppose that is one way to fill your hotels: turn them all into Quarantined Government facilities. (Maybe Nationalized hotels?)
Should get great vacay reviews.
