So the so call anti-competitive legislation, whatever that is, as don't know how that will happen, will it begin with the government doing away with its own monopolies, in order to allow competition?

So does the PM really believe that business owners fo not seek to source their products directly from the manufacturer?

Maybe the PM needs to take his own advice and start by buying the fruits directly from Haiti, rather than having them shipped from Haiti to the US and then buying from the US. DOn't give rhetoric, just take action and show that you are doing it.

And on insurance and bread basket items

This statement is most laughable. Many in the country did not vote for Davis as they did not expect anything of him. Anyone expecting anything of Davis clearly did not look at what he did as an MO and even when he had a ministerial portfolio.

I am reading this article and wondering where is the journalistic investigation by the reporter on what in law says what this man is saying is correct or not. Where in las is a union given the right to determine who enters or does not enter the country?

Additionally, if this is so, then we have serious issues in this country if a union can determine who is allowed in the country. Because, who voted this control to any union? I never recall this on a ballot to get my vote.

And by the same government that sees FOIA as not important.

The title of this article is misleading.

One sentence about one person claiming tourists canceled due to power outage with not proof provided whatsoever.

Come on Tribune, you all are better than this.

This is why URCA is not worth crap. Takes them 2 years to even begin an investigation?

This man and these union are a clear and resent threat to our country.

He is actually saying that they are colluding together, when they are 14 different entities.

Ok, let's dialogue.

Name me one government run entity we have that makes a profit, and I will acquiesce to Bahamasair being able to changed being under government control?

After 51 years Bahamasair has never turned a profit. And no amount of stringent management will change that as long as it is a government run entity where politicians can put people to pay them off for votes.

How many governments that are real democracies have state run airlines? Only dictators do state run airlines so they can control.

Privatizing Bahamasair, the government then just gives subsidies to private airlines to ensure they service islands that have less traffic. It happens all over the world.
