Nassau needs to be the first call

Employment quotas based on gender? Has not the good minister studied the constitution? Article: 26. Starting to wonder if there should not be an understanding - The Constitution Test for Ministers?

Nassau Cruise Harbour project - the committee seems to have reached a conclusion extremely quickly ... hope that the prime minister and cabinet understand the problem, with the arriving cruise ships, is that the 7-10 cruises arrive in Nassau on their last stop or the last but one, that being one of the cruise islands plus their passengers have empty credit/debit cards.

A management company has no say, in changing the sailing and which port the ships go to first - second last or last but one. Choose them, if we get a 3-4% increase that will be a miracle. If we choose the Strachan Group, with the cruise lines, we could be looking at a 60% disembarkment of passengers, currently 39% and the spend would shoot through the roof. Conditional in getting the franchise, require them to have 3-mega ships into Nassau, every week on their first or second call after leaving the US!

Do not screw this one up please!
