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.

  • Financial Statement and Budgetary Proposals 2008
    FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND BUDGETARY PROPOSALS 2008 PRESENTED BY HON. DAVID THOMPSON PRIME MINISTER AND MINISTER OF FINANCE Monday 7th July, 2008 RESPONSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE Mr. Speaker, The honour is mine and the privilege is humbling to present this first budget of the new Democratic Labour Party administration in this House. I start by thanking Almighty God for all the blessings He has showered on us as a nation, and our people for the special wisdom and the courage to exercise their democratic rights from time to time and to seek change when necessary. I thank all of those who pray for those who lead them every day. I come to this point grateful to the people for entrusting the management of the nation’s affairs to my Cabinet at this crucial juncture in the history of our beloved country. There are those who think that 2008 is the worst time for a political party to come to office bearing in mind the multifaceted challenges that confront us. But ours is not a labour for reward. It is a labour of love of country and for which our feet have been held to the hottest of fires and we have endured the cruelest of winters. I am strengthened by the comforting by the words from the Book of Joshua, “Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest.” 2 The people of Barbados have turned to us at crucial watersheds in our development in the past.

  • HERITAGE and the CULTURAL INDUSTRIES: the Impact of Public Awareness and Education on the Production of Cultural Products and Services – the Barbados Experience
    HERITAGE AND THE CULTURAL INDUSTRIES: The Impact of Public Awareness and Education on the Production of Cultural Products and Services – The Barbados Experience Introduction This Presentation is aimed at showing the impact of the Public Awareness and Education Programme on the public’s appreciation of heritage and how that appreciation has led to the development of cultural products and services in Barbados. Background The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth has been given the mandate to ensure the preservation of both the tangible and intangible heritage of Barbados. This is undertaken with the assistance of the Barbados World Heritage Committee, which was established by The Cabinet of Barbados - the executive arm of Government, on the recommendation of the Minister responsible for Culture. These entities work closely together to oversee the management of Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison, which was inscribed as a World Heritage property in June 2011. Specifically, the Ministry role has been to educate and sensitize the many publics concerning the Outstanding Universal Value of the Property, with the overall goal of building a greater sense of cultural identity and showing the place of the Property in the cultural heritage landscape of Barbados. To this end, the Ministry has embarked on an aggressive Public Education and Awareness Campaign which promotes the importance of heritage to Barbadians as a people, as well as provides the opportunity to explore the additional benefits which can be derived through heritage when viewed from an economic perspective. For example, young people were invited to see heritage as affording viable career opportunities and young entrepreneurs encouraged to use heritage as the foundation to produce cultural goods and services.
