Carbon pricing and countries that are trading we, Bahamas, will be the last of the current list that includes Argentina, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Denmark, EU (27 countries), Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, South Africa, Swede, UK and Ukraine... the spin Drs of OPM best you Google before writing speeches of Ministers because you are making them look stupid… there are 220,000 cell phones and as quickly as a minister says ‘X’ or ‘Y’ we people are checking.

I don’t see the reason why a corporate body had to be formed in which government will own equity - simply franchise agents whose jobs would be to seek buyers, when they find a buyer go to the Treasurer of The Bahamas, pay the value in a certified manner and receive an agent’s fee you know it has worked around here very well with Real Estate.

Editor, I don’t want to give government the ability to form a Gussie Mae Government Agency for their political hacks, waste the majority that would be collected and virtually nothing would get ever sight of the Treasury.

Mr Davis & Co - re-engineer your deal makes it simpler - remove Government totally -ownership of the Bahamas Carbon Credits would rest in the Treasurer - the Treasurer would appoint agents who would be bonded and insured-as they create a sale that money goes straight - no sticky fingers - into the Treasury.
