Given the focus on job creation, the Ministry of Labour is committed to ensure that at least 100 Grenadians secure a job in the Canadian Farm Workers’ Programme. The Ministry will also continue its efforts to have more Grenadians employed in the cruise industry. The Ministry of Labour is in the final stage of revision of the Labour Code. It is Government’s intention to have this exercise completed this year. As a consequence, discussions are ongoing among stakeholders including the Labour Advisory Board. The Ministry of Labour has adopted the Decent Work Agenda and is encouraging employers to do the same. This Agenda promotes opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work, in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. In an effort to boost economic activity and spur the recovery, Government is currently holding dialogue with stakeholders on the concept of Flexitime. Discussions have already been held with Trade Unions, Employers Federation, Churches and the Labour Advisory Board. The objective of Flexi-time is to encourage more business activity beyond 4 p.m. Mr. Speaker, this is a necessity for a modern and vibrant economy which is what Grenada aspires to be. 5.24 LAW AND JUSTICE Promoting good governance and advancing the administration of justice is the very essence of the operation of the Ministry of Legal Affairs. This Government has succeeded in strengthening the Ministry of Legal Affairs to the extent that it has gained substantial respect for its work and increasing efficiency. The Ministry now has its best compliment of Legal Staff and the effectiveness of this is evidenced by the services and achievements of the past year. 2011 Budget Statement Page 85
