Commentary
We have been promoting links with the diaspora as their continued support is good news for our economy and by extension our region. Their remittances and potential to significantly help to develop our fledgling economy is mind boggling.
No serious government concerned about growth can ignore this invaluable skills bank and human capital.
We are delighted that Minister Bartlett is courting this group who are known to invest in the region/Jamaica heavily, from time to time.
Congrats Minister Bartlett, you have our support at Vision Canada/Caribbean Region.
