    Caribbean Journal of International Relations & Diplomacy Vol. 2, No. 2, June 2014: pp.135-146 REFLECTION The Caribbean Advisory Group: A Memoir Paul Sutton Reader Emeritus, University of Hull Abstract: In 1997 the newly elected New Labour Government in the UK decided to review British policy to the Caribbean. In the course of its review it proposed and established a Caribbean Advisory Group (CAG) made up of persons with experience and expertise in the Caribbean to help frame policy towards the region. This article sets out the work undertaken by the CAG from its inception in 1998 until to 2001. It is written by one of its members and sets out the issues that were considered and the recommendations that were made. It concludes with an assessment of the work of the CAG and how it operated within the context of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office where the CAG was regarded as a not entirely welcome innovation in policy. Keywords: New Labour Government, British Policy to the Caribbean, Caribbean Advisory Group, Foreign and Commonwealth Office The main perspective through which the United Kingdom’s relationship with the Caribbean has been viewed is one of declining interest and increasing distance as the process of decolonisation has steadily reduced the UK’s responsibilities and commitments to now a handful of Caribbean ‘overseas territories’. In essence, this is correct except it overlooks occasional short periods of re- engagement with the Caribbean which have temporarily halted the pace of decline and introduced new elements to the UK-Caribbean relationship.1 One such period can be seen with the return of the New Labour government in 1997 after eighteen years of 136 Paul Sutton Conservative rule.

Rempel Garner proposed the health committee (HESA) undertake a study to look at 17 different elements, including rapid, at-home testing; vaccine development; long-term care protocols within federal jurisdiction; the Public Health Agency of Canada ’s Global Public Health Intelligence Network; contact tracing protocol; and Canada’s level of preparedness for future pandemics. The motion also proposed that various ministers, including those for health, procurement and public safety, be required to appear before the committee separately for three hours each in order to answer questions about the government’s response to COVID-19. Rempel Garner’s motion was introduced after opposition members of the committee voted to adjourn the debate on a motion presented by Liberal MP and committee member Tony Van Bynen (Newmarket-Aurora, Ont.), who was calling for a study on the mental health impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians.

Kabinet ini perlu bertindak pantas dan bersepadu dalam usaha membebaskan Malaysia daripada ancaman pandemik COVID-19, kegawatan ekonomi serta kekusutan politik. 3. Umum mengetahui saya menerima kerajaan ini dalam keadaan seadanya. Justeru, pembentukan Kabinet ini merupakan satu formulasi semula berdasarkan situasi semasa, demi mengekalkan kestabilan dan meletakkan kepentingan serta keselamatan Keluarga Malaysia lebih daripada segala-galanya. 4. Saya akui bahawa kita sedang berada dalam keadaan yang getir akibat pandemik COVID-19, kegawatan ekonomi dan diburukkan lagi dengan ketidakstabilan politik negara. 5. Berdasarkan ramalan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO), kita akan hidup bersama COVID-19 sebagai endemik, yang bersifat kekal dan menjadi sebahagian daripada kehidupan manusia. 6. Dunia mencatatkan kemunculan Variant of Concern (VOC) yang lebih agresif dan rekod di seluruh dunia menunjukkan mereka yang telah divaksinasi masih boleh dijangkiti COVID- 19. 7. Oleh itu, kerajaan akan memperkasa Agenda Nasional Malaysia Sihat (ANMS) dalam mendidik Keluarga Malaysia untuk hidup bersama virus ini.
