CSME not working
published: Friday | August 11, 2006

The Editor, Sir:

I must agree with the letter from Mr. Carl Stewart, referencing the CSME. It is one of the most bureaucratic pieces of legislation that I have ever run across. I, like Mr. Stewart, moved to Trinidad and Tobago to make a better life for myself and family.

This legislation was to aid in the free movement of labour within the Caribbean. I am here to tell you, that is not so. I submitted an application to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs three months ago and to date still have no certificate, even though I have a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Finance. I have had to obtain police reports from everywhere I have lived, even places that I lived 18 years ago.

Mr. Stewart is absolutely right - the true story is not being told, the CSME does not work. It has been in existence for a few months and is in desperate need of an overhaul.

I am, etc.,
