A strong relationship with Haiti has only yielded benefits for Haiti. When will the Bahamas derive some benefits from this one sided relationship?

We need a 10 year moratorium on granting citizenship to Haitians as well while we try to clean up this colonization mess.

Maybe we can start by tariffs on all products imported from the Dominican Republic. They poaching our seafood, but we still buying their products. Not very smart to me!

Contraception and education are the two things that could reduce rates of poverty in this country, but too many people don't want either although they are basically free!

All sensible employers (businesspersons) will make concessions and pay more to keep good productive staff. It is the scarcity of good workers that will keep the minimum wage low or encourage layoffs to minimize losses to businesses.

... it is more likely that someone will get promoted!

It seems %1000 duty on items of interest should solve the problem!

What use is a new hospital with the same staff, work ethics and attitudes?

For the amount of money that has been spent on and by BEC/BPL over the past 15 years, these disruptions in power supply should NEVER happen!

While $210 is quite a low pay scale, qualified people will not work for it and *many* others who do work for it are overpaid. Just visit a business where you have entry level workers including fast food places and you can see that they should be the one's paying their employers for giving them an opportunity to work.

Secondly, a price wage increase will force layoff in low paying jobs. Its better for a business person to let one employee go and divide that salary between workers left while trying to improve productivity!

Lastly, if we can get our people to take advantage of their high school education, learn some manners, stop teiffin' your bosses time and goods and stop having children without higher level education, employers might be willing to pay a little bit more without being forced by government!
