20210302, Unrevised Senate Debate 1 Conduct in Chambers 02.03.2021 SENATE Tuesday, March 02, 2021 The Senate met at 1.30 p.m. PRAYERS [MADAM PRESIDENT in the Chair] CONDUCT IN CHAMBER Madam President: Hon. Senators, in recent sittings, there has been conduct in this Chamber which propels me to make this statement. I make this statement pursuant to Standing Order 2(5), which provides that: “The President shall have power to regulate the conduct of business in all matters not provided for in these Standing Orders.” I suggest that hon. Senators remind themselves of the existence of this Standing Order and of the wider power it confers upon those who occupy this Chair. I also suggest that hon. Senators remind themselves that the term “Presiding Officer” is defined in Standing Order 3 to mean: “…the Senator who regulates the conduct of business in the sittings of the Senate;” Matters of conduct not provided for in the Standing Orders of the Senate, such as, but not limited to, challenging, offering side comments on and making assessment on the floor of rulings made by the President; cell phones going off during sittings; improper wearing of masks; debating in loud and raised voices, and crosstalk between Senators, which can start off as banter but degenerates into loud and raised voices across the benches, all of these matters of conduct, which of course are not the whole sum of matters of conduct, are matters which the President has the power to regulate during sittings of the Senate. UNREVISED 2 Conduct in Chambers 02.03.2021 Madam President (cont’d) The President’s responsibility, consistent with Standing Order 2(5) and Standing Order 3, is to ensure that the business of the Senate is conducted in an orderly manner. The discharge of this responsibility is assisted by the provisions of the Constitution, insofar as they relate to the minimum age requirement for the appointment of Senators. By section 41 of the Constitution: “…a person shall”—not—“be qualified to be appointed as a Senator…unless, he is a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago of the age of twenty-five years or upwards.” This is in contrast to the minimum age requirement for the appointment of Members of the House of Representatives. By section 47 of the Constitution: “…a person shall”—not—“be qualified to be elected as a member of the House of Representatives”—unless he is—“of the age of eighteen years or upwards;” The framers of the Constitution, therefore, clearly had in mind that the Senate would be a place for more mature citizens and with that, a place of more mature conduct. Time and time again, during this current Session of Parliament, I have had to rise from this Chair repeatedly to ask hon. Senators to remember that they are in the Upper House of Parliament and to ask that they tailor their conduct accordingly. What is worse is that hon. Senators can often be seen congratulating each other on the very conduct that has at times caused me to rise to appeal for adherence to mature behaviour. Hon. Senators, there is no cause for congratulations. Part of mature behaviour is accepting rulings made from this Chair. It is not to be supposed that I do not understand how challenging that can be at times. I too, once sat where hon. Senators sit today. I was both an Opposition Senator and a Government Senator. I therefore understand, from my own lived experience, the UNREVISED 3 Conduct in Chambers 02.03.2021 Madam President (cont’d) challenge that it sometimes is in this Chamber to hold one’s feelings inside, especially when one believes in the rightness of the point that one is making. But as committed and as passionate as we might be about our contributions in this Chamber, it does not do for hon. Senators to be conducting themselves and the nation’s business in the full glare of the public and of our young people, in particular, in a manner that runs counter to the mature standards of behaviour that the Constitution demands from hon. Senators. We cannot be defeated by the challenges that debate in this Chamber poses. We simply have to rise to them and conduct ourselves accordingly. I make this statement today in the way of guidance to hon. Senators. Some of us are newer to this Chamber than others, but all of us are called to the same standard and mature conduct that the Constitution demands. In recent weeks in Trinidad and Tobago, there has been something of a movement among our citizenry, sparked by exceedingly sad events which have broken this country’s heart, with people of all walks of life coming together to demand better from our leaders and from each other. Hon. Senators, it is not to be supposed that we in this Chamber are exempted or excused from this movement. Ours is the responsibility, as part of this movement and in the discharge of our duty under the Constitution to this Chamber, to demand better from ourselves in the way we conduct our business in the Senate. It will not do for us to say that the burden of change lies only on our citizens outside of these walls. The burden of change weighs heavy upon us in this Chamber as well. I therefore call on hon. Senators to eschew all forms and manner of conduct and deportment not provided for by the Standing Orders of the Senate, but which nevertheless undermine the dignity and the authority of this Chamber. Rest assured that I would do my part in effecting change in this Senate by invoking Standing UNREVISED 4 Conduct in Chambers 02.03.2021 Madam President (cont’d) Order 2(5) and Standing Order 3 as necessary, and by calling upon hon. Senators, scrupulously and always, to adhere to the highest standards of conduct and deportment in carrying out the business of the Senate. Hon. Senators, after this statement, I do hope that I would not have cause to have to remind Senators of these Standing Orders again. PAPERS LAID 1.

Khan] URGENT QUESTIONS COVID-19 Vaccine Roll-Out (Intervention by Government) Sen. Paul Richards: Thank you, Madam President. Good afternoon, colleagues. To the Minister of Health: In light of recent concerns expressed by the Prime Minister and Caricom Chairman that small countries are being overlooked in favour of larger countries in the global COVID-19 vaccine roll-out, what, if any, immediate intervention is being pursued by Government? The Minister of Health (Hon. Terrence Deyalsingh): Thank you very much, Madam President, and thank you to Sen. Richards for the question. I would like to UNREVISED 5 Urgent Questions (cont’d) 02.03.2021 contextualize the answer by quoting from a January 13, 2021, statement put out by the Caricom. It says: “…the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is deeply concerned at the current prospect of inequitable access to vaccines…” It goes on to say: “The reality is that small states will find it difficult to compete in the market place to ensure equitable access for vaccines.” What was the solution? Caricom—“…therefore calls for a global summit in the context of the World Health Organization’s…Act-A Facilitation Council to discuss equitable access and distribution of…COVID-19 vaccines.” That was January 13, 2021. Specifically the Government. I now go to Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley’s statement at the WHO’s media conference on 18 February, 2021, where he calls specifically for: “This being so we at Caricom have recently called upon WHO to immediately convene an international convention of the world’s peoples representatives to commiserate, explain, assist and commit to a fair sharing of the available vaccine resources for the benefit of all humankind and not just a privileged, well-heeled few.” I have been informed by the Minister of Foreign and Caricom Affairs that out of this call, the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee intends to hold a Caribbean/US roundtable on Wednesday 24th March on vaccines and small island developing states. UNREVISED 6 Urgent Questions (cont’d) 02.03.2021 What else is the Government doing? With the expressed permission of the hon. Dr. Keith Rowley, I quote from a letter sent to Dr. Rowley from Dr. Tedros, dated— Madam President: Minister, your two minutes— Hon. T. Deyalsingh: Yes. Madam President: Your time is expired. Sen. Richards. Sen. Richards: Thank you, Madam President. Can the Minister indicate, in addition to the measures he has outlined with the meeting planned for the middle of March, if there are any other mechanisms the Government has employed to circumvent the disproportionate distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to smaller countries? Hon. T. Deyalsingh: So, through the COVAX Facility, Trinidad and Tobago expects from the COVAX Facility, 100,800 vaccines by the end of March. That is the deadline given to us by PAHO. From the African medicines council platform, we were initially allocated 226,000 doses. That has now been increased to 426,000 doses.

  • A Dub Approach to Defining a Caribbean Literary Identity in the Contemporary Diaspora
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: ON THE B-SIDE: A DUB APPROACH TO DEFINING A CARIBBEAN LITERARY IDENTITY IN THE CONTEMPORARY DIASPORA Isis N. Semaj, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed by: Professor Merle Collins, Department of English Drawing from Jamaica’s socio-politically distinct dub musical genre, “On the B: Side” argues that the literary aesthetics of Caribbean migration and history can be analyzed according to a model of dub. As I define it, the dub aesthetic is marked by erasures, repairs, re-invention, and re-creation. It is thematically and formally captured in migration and represented in the experience of dislocation and home(lessness), memory and the layering of time, political silences and cultural amplification, and the distinct social climate associated with the 21st century push toward celebrating diasporic communities and marking progress through globalization. Given these contemporary circumstances, the Caribbean subject at home locally and at home in the diaspora necessarily demonstrates an acute investment in memory recall and a strong motivation toward building cultural posterity. This dissertation, therefore, explicates how the more recent literature reaches back in new ways that facilitate the survival of a uniquely Caribbean literary identity into the future. This dissertation analyzes works by Ramabai Espinet, Edwidge Danticat, and Anthony Winkler to highlight the ways in which relocation and dislocation intersect for the Caribbean subject. Additionally, I examine works by Marion Patrick Jones and Diana McCaulay, who represent another category of unbelonging and homelessness in the Caribbean that is read in the middle class’s exclusion from national and regional discourse on authenticity. Interrogating the space of Caribbean fiction, the dissertation moves through the deconstruction and reinvention of migration to arrive at the diasporic intersections of erasure, rupture, and repair.

On February 26th 1970, when the NJAC stormed the Roman Catholic Church following a protest outside a Canadian bank, they were a small organisation in confl ict with the state. It is the sharpness of the confl ict centred around support for black students in Canada, which drew thousands into a social movement and hundreds to the membership of NJAC. Th e then Geddes Granger had to contemplate a new situation. No longer NJAC ’ s particular confrontation with authority but the wider confl ict which had beset the social order. Political possibilities soar in times such as these. (UC DHP Box 9/3) Having been eff ectively run out of town by the police, Howe needed to relocate, and quickly, if he was to avoid a criminal libel charge. Th e move needed to be thought-through. Black Dimension had ended prematurely, but Howe had no intention of curtailing his political activism. His thoughts turned to the Caribbean.
