An implementation plan is what is missing from budget 2022. This was the consensus of the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce's Beyond the Budget virtual analysis on Tuesday.

TT Chamber president Charles Pashley said Trinidad and Tobago was experiencing a downturn in the economy pre-covid. He said the role of the government was not to compete with the private sector but to provide a policy environment and implementation that deal with the efficiency and effectiveness of the provision of services to enable smooth business.

He said the budget nodded at the necessity for energy transition and climate change with the promotion of green spaces, tax credits on carbon capture and storage and enhanced oil recovery, removal of taxes on electric vehicles, and the revamp on the oil and gas regime.

The panel said digital ID, the electronic funds transfer window and other measures will improve interaction with the public service and allow for a facilitative environment for businesses.

Pashley said he noted the government's move to prioritise efforts to protect the vulnerable, including the use of fuel and gas cards and rebates on utilities.

Price Waterhouse Coopers TT territory senior partner Brian Hackett said there has been a surge in international commodity prices and a rise in food inflation. He said people needed to take advantage of free and low-cost options for developing digital and soft skills, including time management, communications and conflict management. He said even before the pandemic, the education system was not functioning as it should.

'We had whole classes of people who were not where they should be. I would give up all the scholarship winners for a 15 per cent improvement across the board.'

Chamber CEO Gabriel Faria said one major initiative which would add to the ability of businesses to contribute to the economy would be prompt repayment of VAT refunds.

Development economist Dr Marlene Attzs said she noted the support to people with disabilities, and the commitment to having no one left behind. She said the conversation around food inflation included shipping costs, foreign exchange, the increased price of food items, the effect on the diet of people in the lower echelons, and widened the number of items not subject to VAT.

'We need to rewire the education system. Covid19 exposed the gaps in our education system, as we can't innovate to teach our children. Education cannot be a panacea if we don't inculcate different values into the curriculum. This is an opportunity for us to have a plan that requires collective responsibility and intervention.'

She said while the Finance Minister was not keen on interaction with the IMF, he was pleased with the increase with the country's net reserves, which reaped the benefit of drawdowns from that institution due to the covid19 pandemic.

'He missed the opportunity to make a point, in talking about foreign direct investment, about the repatriation of foreign exchange by companies, as opposed to companies sending foreign

AN appeal filed by the Chief Immigration Officer challenging a preliminary decision of a High Court judge was withdrawn as the matter involving the detention of a group of Venezuelans is set to be litigated before the judge.

On Thursday, Senior Counsel Fyard Hosein said the immigration division was no longer pursuing its appeal of certain orders made by Justice Devindrda Rampersad in April.

The judge had ordered the Chief Immigration Officer to make arrangements for the local UNHCR to meet with the group of eight, which includes children, to confirm their asylum-seeker status.

He also ordered immigration officials to release them on orders of supervision pending the outcome of a request for a permit from the National Security Minister and their claim for asylum.

On Thursday, Hosein said the division decided to release the applicants on orders of supervision, and the children were released into the custody of relatives and are being supervised by the Children’s Authority.

He said while the State felt strongly about the appeal, since the applicants are not challenging their detention order, nor did they advance a plea on the issue of refugee status, they were asking for ministerial consent, which will be litigated before Rampersad.

“What is left for the judge is the notice of deportation will trump a ministerial consent and if the latter is appropriate…but that is for the court to decide.”

In allowing the State to withdraw the appeal, the Appeal Court judges – Justices Gregory Smith and Vasheist Kokaram – departed from their usual cost order and ordered "cost in the cause" to be assessed by a registrar.

Rampersad is expected to rule on the substantive matter in May 2023.

The migrants are represented by Criston J Williams.
