  • Address by the Rt. Hon. Owen Arthur Prime Minister on the Occasion of the Re-Opening of the West Wing of Parliament
    ADDRESS BY THE RT. HON. OWEN ARTHUR PRIME MINISTER ON THE OCCASION OF THE RE-OPENING OF THE WEST WING OF PARLIAMENT NOVEMBER 22, 2006 2 In every form of Government known to mankind, and particularly in a Democracy, the land on which the Legislature is located is regarded with some reverence. Trollope captured that reverence well in the sentiments he put in the mouth of one of the characters of his novel “Can You Forgive Her”: “I have told myself, in anger and in grief, that to die and not to have won that right of way, though but for a session – not to have passed through those lamps (on either side of the St. Stephen’s entrance) – is to die and not to have done that which it most becomes an Englishman to have achieved”. Thus, the mere mention of the Palace of Westminster or Capitol Hill to mention two such familiar locations, conjures up in the mind locations which are not mere pieces of real estate, but places of deep constitutional and historical significance, where the people’s business is conducted and the outcome of their democratic right to vote finds practical expression. I am sure therefore that you appreciate as I do, the importance and significance of the reopening of the West Wing of our Parliament Buildings. It bears repeating that within the Commonwealth of Nations, our Parliament, is the third oldest political institution. Only the Parliament at the Palace of Westminster and the Parliament in Hamilton Bermuda are older; and our Parliamentary System of Representative Government is therefore 367 years old.

  • Remarks PM Stuart
    Remarks by the Rt. Hon. Freundel Stuart, Prime Minister of Barbados, on the occasion of the High-level Strategic Dialogue "CARICOM: Vibrant societies, resilient economies: a partnership for Implementation" July 2 - 3, 2015 Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre Colleague Prime Ministers, Ministers of Cabinet, Excellencies, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am delighted to endorse the sentiment already expressed by Foreign Minister Maxine McClean and to welcome you once again to this High Level Strategic Dialogue, entitled "Vibrant Societies; Resilient Economies: A Partnership for Implementation". I am especially pleased to see a number of my fellow heads of government of CARICOM countries and to be able to welcome amongst us the Secretaries-General of the United Nations, the Commonwealth and the Organisation of American States. I also extend a word of thanks to the many organisations and individuals who have made this gathering possible and who will be contributing to our discussions today. Among these, I thank, in particular, Sir George Alleyne, Chancellor of the University of the West Indies, distinguished Caribbean scholar and leader who will be the moderator of today's session. Allow me to begin by addressing, head on, as it were, a line of thinking about events such as this one and, for that matter, the Conference of CARICOM Heads of Government which will begin later today, here in Barbados. These are, say the critics, mere talking shops, unconnected to the needs of our societies, more focussed on rhetoric than reality. Almost exactly 21 years ago, in these very halls, Barbados created history by hosting the First United Nations Global Conference on the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

In this critical passage of our history, the Social Partnership has played a vital role. We have committed to a voyage for love of country and we must see it through. We must stay the course. Much progress has been made. Important points along the way have been seen and passed. The IMF’s approval of the Barbados Economic Recovery and Transformation Plan; the domestic debt restructuring and a budget surplus. But, trust me, everyone knows we cannot rebuild in 10 months what they destroyed in 10 years. And even as we embark on this path, we have been beset by some major challenges, led of course by the issue of gun-related violence. It is a scourge we will not ignore or tolerate and we have already begun taking steps to counter. We must and we will do all in our power to save your young people. And the international background today has made the task harder than ever before. Brexit has curbed the enthusiasm for travel from our largest source market. The OECD has forced us to abandon a 30-year old separation of tax rates between international and local business.

Both tools and products of the British Empire, cricket and military music could be used at cross-purposes and gained meaning and ideological significance in practice. Attention to the cultural practices of the West India Regiments sheds significant light on the connections between early twentieth-century social change and the dynamics of nineteenth-century colonialism. Moreover, it opens up new – and possibly counterintuitive – connections between Caribbean military history and scholarship on the social and cultural forces that have shaped Caribbean society.
