Bills not perfect, but are steps forward

The Tobago Council of the PNM is working to persuade Tobagonians to support the two Self-Governance Bills currently in Parliament, despite acknowledging the bills are not perfect. The PNM argues that it would be unrealistic for Tobago to secure all desired provisions at once, but they pointed out that there will be opportunities to petition for further amendments to strengthen the legislation. This message was shared at the Calder Hall Community Centre on Sunday.
