“The government is
mindful that this decision will continue to lead to the
creation of jobs, the strengthening of the local economy and
enhancement of its general competitiveness having regard to
the emerging CSME and its attendant effects,” said Carty.
He said Cabinet also discussed several routine matters
including the government’s immigration policy, the low
income housing programme, and national security.
Discussion surrounding these issues was extensive and
Cabinet has requested that formal follow-up be had on the
issues raised. |
