757Oral Answer to Question <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES<strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>The <strong>House</strong> met at 1.30 p.m.PRAYERS[MR. SPEAKER in the Chair]ORAL ANSWER TO QUESTIONThe following question stood on the Order Paper in the name of Dr. A. Nanan(Tabaquite):List of Projects and Programmes(Details of)17. Could the hon. Attorney General provide this <strong>House</strong> with a list of allprojects and programmes involving state enterprises, statutory authoritiesand other state institutions in which parliamentarians have been engagedby the State, as well as the amount of moneys paid for their services sinceJanuary 2002 to the present time?[Dr. Nanan stands]The Minister of Trade and Industry and Minister in the Ministry ofFinance (Hon. Kenneth Valley): Mr. Speaker, the Member is obviouslyextremely quick and, perhaps, even eager but I have to apologize. First of all, letme say, the answer has not been approved by the Cabinet as yet. I am just makingan observation that the information requested here must be part of the AuditorGeneral’s Report. [Interruption] To the extent that one is a parliamentarian, itmust be disclosed. [Interruption] All that is happening is given the number ofcompanies, we are asking for a deferral of two weeks.Mr. Speaker: If it is available in the Auditor General’s Report, then thequestion would not qualify because there is a Standing Order that says—theAttorney General needs to come and say that.Mr. Singh: Also indicate what is in the Auditor General’s Report and whetherit really answers the question that is on the Order Paper. You cannot just say inthe Auditor General’s ReportMr. Speaker: Please, please! If you are saying the answer to this question isin the Auditor General’s Report, as the Member is saying, the Attorney Generalneeds to come and say the answer is there contained and in which one.


758Oral Answer to Question <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>Hon. K. Valley: He would do that, but he has to get approval from theCabinet. I will say that the Exchequer and Audit Ordinance provides for that. Itsays that in such a case if a parliamentarian is doing it, it must be so disclosed andif it is not so disclosed therefore, it means there is no parliamentarian so affected.Mr. Singh: Mr. Speaker, I just want to raise the point about the questions forwritten answers. There are several questions that are outstanding that certainly donot appear within the Auditor General’s Report, and really there are questions,over and above the reasonable periods.Mr. Speaker: Hon. Member, I made reference to that, not at the last sitting, Ithink the sitting before. Again, Leader, whatever you can do, I know you will doyour best.Hon. K. Valley: Mr. Speaker, I just want to draw attention to the <strong>House</strong> that,in fact, I see question No. 25 is still on the Order Paper. As far as I am aware, Ithink, I got a response to that question. There were two questions that I havereceived responses to and I would ask that they be checked. It is on my desk. Ithink there were two questions, No. 25 and I think there was No. 17.Question, by leave, deferred.WRITTEN ANSWERS TO QUESTIONSThe following questions were asked by Mr. Manohar Ramsaran (Chaguanas):Media Advertisements/Campaigns(Breakdown of Cost)25. Could the hon. Minister of Community Development, Culture and GenderAffairs provide the <strong>House</strong> with a breakdown of the cost of advertisementsand public relation campaigns conducted by the Ministry in the media forthe period October 01, 2002 to February 28, <strong>2005</strong>?National Commission for Self-Help(Details of Projects)28. Could the hon. Minister of Community Development, Culture and GenderAffairs inform this <strong>House</strong>:(a)(b)How many projects were approved for the period October, 2002 toFebruary, <strong>2005</strong>;The nature and location of each project; and(c) The cost of each project.Vide end of sitting for written answers.


759Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT(PROCLAMATION AND IMPLEMENTATION)[Second Day]Order read for resuming adjourned debate on question [May 27, <strong>2005</strong>]Be it resolved:That the Government take all necessary steps to have the Occupational Safetyand Health Act proclaimed and implemented without further delay.Question again proposed.Mr. Speaker: On the last occasion the hon. Member for Chaguanas was onhis legs and he has eight minutes of his extension time. I am going to clarify thatso in the course even if we get to the first 45 minutes , and it is more than eightminutes you would get the time added on to your extension, if the Members soapprove.Mr. M. Ramsaran: Thank you very much. Mr. Speaker, Trinidad andTobago still operates on the 1948 law to deal with the safety health and welfarefor persons at work. It is now clear to all that the PNM is anti-worker. How thencan one explain the failure of the PNM to proclaim the Occupational Safety andHealth Act (OSHA)? How many more must die? How many more must bemaimed?Mr. Speaker, OSHA was proposed by the UNC to deal with the changing faceof our workforce. Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago are rising to the challenges oftime. They face the threat of dealing with volatile elements in the oil and gasindustry on a daily basis. Explosions are now occurring as part of the dailyoperations, yet the PNM shows no mercy. I call on this Government to proclaimthe Act now. [Desk thumping]Mr. Speaker, the law is now widened to embrace all persons at work. I refer topage 2 of the Bill. No worker is spared from the hazards in his or her job. Thebanner headline in today’s Express: “Rowley raises hell”. Here we have a selfproclaimedrenegade loose cannon minister, speaking against workers of theState. He has attacked the Prime Minister of this country, the Prime Minister’sfreedom to choose ministers—Mr. Speaker: Hon. Member, one second, please? Did I hear you rightreferring to the hon. Member as—Could you repeat?Mr. M. Ramsaran: Self-proclaimed renegade.


760Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>Mr. Speaker: Are you calling the Member a renegade?Mr. M. Ramsaran: No. He called himself—Mr. Speaker: You are quoting from the newspaper. I see, sorry.Mr. M. Ramsaran: Mr. Speaker, he has attacked the Prime Minister of thecountry, the Prime Minister’s freedom to choose ministers and I quote from theExpress, page 3:“Rowley said he wanted to especially see a limit to the number of senators inthe Cabinet.”Which worker, or which Ministers he wants to get rid of? Is it ChristineSahadeo, Christine Kangaloo? Is it Joan Yuille-Williams, Lenny Saith, ConradEnill? Is it Danny Montano, UNC constituency at UWI, dollar-for-dollar? Is it theAttorney General, or is it Mrs. Hazel Manning?Mr. Speaker, all workers are at risk. He attacked the <strong>Parliament</strong>aryCommittees established to investigate various Ministries and State Agencies, andI again quote from today’s newspapers:“…Rowley added he had not gone to another ‘consciously and deliberately’.”Why is he against these Committees? What is he afraid of? Is he spitting like avenomous snake against the attackers unknown, maybe those who referred him tothe Integrity Commission or established the Commission of Enquiry re: hisinvolvement in the Landate scandal?Mr. Speaker, workers are at risk in Trinidad and Tobago, and I am calling onthe Government to proclaim the Act, now.A secretary, Mrs. Ali, of NH International was almost killed. Is this what thisMinister is worried about? So that the true actor he is, he attempted to create asmokescreen; and you are fully aware, Mr. Speaker, he based his attack on theElections and Boundaries Commission, using false figures, to exaggerate as hehimself said, and I quote again from today’s Express:“I see one or two of them from time to time grandstanding for the 7 o’clocknews…What we have here is a bunch of idiots…”Dr. Rowley: And you are one of them.Mr. M. Ramsaran: “…trying to out-shout one another.” [Interruption]


761Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>Mr. Speaker: Order please! Hon. Member, I cannot see the relevance of whatyou are reading to the Motion before the <strong>House</strong>. [Crosstalk] I am ruling itirrelevant. Move on.Mr. M. Ramsaran: Dr. Rowley also makes me strengthen my call, proclaimthis Act, now! Mr. Speaker, we do not want bullies in the future of this <strong>Parliament</strong>to repeat the cup throwing incident, because, we are workers and you are incharge of this <strong>Parliament</strong>.Mr. Speaker, when I entered this <strong>Parliament</strong> there were paperweights ofvarying sizes and shapes; some made of metal, some made of glass. Why werethey removed? You were in the <strong>House</strong> at that time. Let me remind this <strong>House</strong>—and I want this Act proclaimed now.Dr. Rowley: You are a clown!Mr. M. Ramsaran: There are serious hazards here! It was the Member forDiego Martin West who took up one such paperweight threatening to lick downsomeone on this side. The next week the paperweights were removed. So, we inthis <strong>Parliament</strong> faced the hazards in our workplace and I prefer—Mr. Speaker, how much more must be hurt, maimed or killed performing theirduty, and I now refer to the front page in today’s TnT Mirror, “Murders aroundManning”.Mr. Manning: No, it did not say that.Mr. Singh: That is the headline.Mr. M. Ramsaran: Sorry, I rephrased that.Dr. Rowley: You cannot even read.Mr. M. Ramsaran: Mr. Speaker, all that I have seen here is that policeremains baffled by last Sunday’s executions. The article went on to say it isbecause of something that emanated from the 1990 coup:“…that the government should not pander to pressure from the US to push theAnti-Terrorism Bill, which would banish members of his flock in jail on amere suspicion.”Mr. Speaker, Manning continued to make offers to bear the funeral of thepeople concerned. The Member was a deputy-leader of the PNM and, perhaps, the


762Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[MR. RAMSARAN]most senior Member of Cabinet, other than the hon. Prime Minister. It is sheerhypocrisy that the Member could speak to the honourable <strong>House</strong> about the nonimplementationof an enquiry.Mr. Speaker, it is a baseless argument—Mr. Speaker: Hon. Member, I just want to inform you on your speaking time.In fact, you have 22 minutes of extended time.Mr. M. Ramsaran: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I was of that view,so I might slow down now a bit.Mr. Speaker, it is a baseless argument for the hon. Member for Diego MartinWest that too many years have passed—I am raising this issue because whathappened here in July, 1990 as we approach the 15 th year of that bloody attemptedcoup in Trinidad and Tobago, we must ensure that the workers in this <strong>Parliament</strong>,the workers who represent the people, must not ever face such an action again ashappened in 1990. So, it is baseless for the hon. Member for Diego Martin Westto talk about too many years have passed.Mr. Speaker, the hon. Prime Minister of the day, Mr. A.N.R. Robinson, is stillalive; the leader of the PNM, Patrick Manning is still here with us and so, too, isour Opposition Leader, Mr. Basdeo Panday. I am sure evidence can be drawnfrom Mr. Kelvin Ramnath, Mr. Trevor Sudama, Mr. Winston Dookeran and Mr.Herbert Atwell amongst others. Amongst them who are with us today, Imam AbuBakr is still alive, Bilal Abdullah is still alive, Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj is stillhere—remember he fled to Grenada and, of course, DOMA will remembereverything that happened to us in Port of Spain. I 1repeat that all the principalactors in this part of history are here and it is time we approach the 15 thanniversary of the July 27 attempted failed coup to set up a truth commission inTrinidad and Tobago as was done in South Africa to come to the bottom of thisproblem. I speak on behalf of all Members of <strong>Parliament</strong> and all the law-abidingpeople in this country. We do not want to see another such action again.Mr. Speaker, when we look at what is taking place in this country and thefailure of this Government not to proclaim OSHA, it is worrying to us. Coming tothis <strong>Parliament</strong> today, on the midday news the headline was “Dansam Dhansookafraid for his life”. Here is a person elected to serve this country and now he iscrying out for police protection and what has happened? Nothing! I am calling onthis Government to do the honourable thing and proclaim this Act.


763Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>I read with interest, the hon. Minister of Labour, Small and Micro EnterpriseDevelopment, who said he is now studying the Act. I find this passing strange thatthere have been at least four Ministers since our hon. Minister Harry Partap in theMinistry of Labour and here we have somebody saying he is now reading. Howcould we accept that in this country? [Interruption]When I look at what is taking place on the wharves—and this is dealing withthe lives of our public on a daily basis—there was no electricity on our Port ofSpain wharves in the week <strong>June</strong> 15. There were little or no deliveries ofcontainers—hampering of trade which we all know will cripple any country somuch Trinidad and Tobago. As a matter of fact, four workers lost their lives thisyear on the Port of Spain wharves. Operation at Shed nine came to a halt whenthere was an overflow of sewage and chemicals leaking from barrels, and this is avery dangerous situation. I want to remind you of what took place at the courierbond in Piarco. Remember a couple of weeks ago there was a robbery at agovernment building. Police responded and one police officer was shot to death.More blood has flown than ever in the workplace in Trinidad and Tobago and,yet, we have this Government playing around with this piece of legislation andnot enacting it.Mr. Speaker, the country is crying out. You look at this week’s newspapersalone and you will see various agencies in this country and people asking, “pleaseproclaim this Act.” People are begging to be protected and yet we have thisGovernment sitting there and not doing anything about it.The little I know of the Ministry of Labour—here we have a serious piece oflegislation to be proclaimed and as far as I am concerned, this is just paper workto be done and come to this honourable <strong>House</strong>. What are we hearing, excusesafter excuses why they cannot do this. I repeat, why pass a Bill and then try tofind the way forward after? This, to me, is atrocious. Three years have gone andnothing has been put in place to proclaim OSHA. I want to declare thatGovernment has never been interested in proclaiming the OSHA Bill and unlessthey prove to me otherwise I will continue to say that. They opposed it when wewere in Government. We made three attempts at passing OSHA Act and theybluntly did not support it.Mr. Speaker, instead of the Minister of Labour, Small and Micro EnterpriseDevelopment and Minister in the Ministry of Housing dealing with that, heattacked another institution, dollar-for-dollar, the University of the West Indies. Inmy short career as a politician, I think that was the most racist remark ever madein the history of Trinidad and Tobago, and it was made against young people. You


764Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[MR. RAMSARAN]are now telling people ages 17—25 years that they belong to a UNC constituency.Putting that aside, I am proud of that though. But the fact is that this is unfair tothe students of the University of the West Indies and I ask the Member towithdraw that statement here today. You have the opportunity to do that. Pleasewithdraw it and let us deal with the worker at hand under your portfolio. Toclassify young people and to make them feel racist is something you should neverever be forgiven for.Mr. Speaker, we move on to this new millennium, and, as I said before, we acton this 1948 piece of legislation I think that—[Interruption]Hon. Member: He does not have a problem with black people.Mr. M. Ramsaran: How much time do I have again, Mr. Speaker, I got lost?Mr. Speaker: Your speaking time will end at 1.57 p.m.Mr. M. Ramsaran: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I did some research.I investigated some state agencies and I found amongst many of them they areready and willing to implement OSHA. For example, Petrotrin operates a complexindustry and they are ready to deal with OSHA. I visited Angostura and they, too,are doing their drills—they are a big company and they believe that they are readyto implement OSHA.Mr. Speaker, you look at what is taking place at the University of the WestIndies and it recognizes health, safety and environment as an importantmanagement responsibility as academic excellence, student intake, societalproblem solving of public perception. The St. Augustine campus therefore iscommitted to providing and maintaining a safe and healthy environment for itsemployees, students, visitors or any other person who may be affected by itsactivities, and to do so in an environmentally sensitive and responsible manner.Speaking with persons from the fire service they, too, believe that there is a lotto be done to deal with problems in the labour situation in the department. Thefailure of the PNM to put in place the administrative infrastructure for theproclamation of OSHA is that it will drive away foreign investment in the country,represent a substantial course of compliance among the firms and localenvironment.Mr. Speaker, this is the point I believe that the Government is afraid toimplement OSHA because when they do implement OSHA there are many of theirsupporters in the business sector who cannot implement OSHA because they treattheir workers badly; they disrespect people’s human dignity and rights; they have


765Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>people working in shoddy conditions. That is the main reason why thisGovernment is failing to implement OSHA because they will anger their friendsand their supporters.When one comes back to the public service—I mentioned the Customsbriefly—it is across the board in the public service in Trinidad and Tobago. Imentioned the <strong>Parliament</strong> and bullets flying, but in every department you will findthat there is no electricity; people work in dusty conditions; there are no car parksfor public servants; they treat public servants as a matter of routine. I know thatevery Government Ministry in Trinidad and Tobago would fail and would becharged if they attempt to implement OSHA. They are the biggest culprit, as far asemployers are concerned, the reason for not implementing OSHA. You couldprove me wrong, but we visited many offices. My friend talks about the jails inTrinidad and Tobago. Everything is wrong—there, prisoners, conditions in the jailand so forth are atrocious for the workers. [Interruption] Mr. Speaker, this also iswhat is happening in our country.Just to end, I must go back to what I consider the make-work programmes inthe Government. CEPEP workers have no place to change—it is enshrined in thelaw—no place to have lunch, no NIS. They have been treated as caddy boys by thecontractors and their luck is “badly treated”.Again, I want to ask this Government, let us take the country forward as theUNC with dollar for dollar, afford people education and opportunities. Let usenforce our legislation, as far as OSHA is concerned, so that our workers areprotected. They are mainly in the poorer class of our society; they are the oneswho clamour for protection; they are the ones who vote for us and they are theones who go to the polls. What we have is—somebody calls it—belly politics;you have people hungry and at election time you give them something to fill theirbellies and they vote for the Government in office. I want to end that. I want thepeople of this country to live respectable lives that they must be treated fairly inthe workplace. When we do that then we can say we are on the way to 2020.Thank you very much. [Desk thumping] [Crosstalk]Dr. Roodal Moonilal (Oropouche): I want to begin by congratulating theMember for Nariva on filing and causing a debate in this <strong>House</strong> on a matter thatmust be at this time, regrettably, the most important and the most critical issuefacing the working people of Trinidad and Tobago. [Desk thumping]Mr. Speaker, when the hon. Member for Nariva brought this Motion, theMember sought to remind the Government and the country that this <strong>Parliament</strong>


766Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]passed, almost two years ago, comprehensive legislation addressing health andsafety. This legislation, you must recall, was passed with the assistance and thesupport of the Opposition. It is the only piece of legislation presented by the PNMGovernment, which the Opposition UNC supported.Mr. Hinds: Shameless, Shameless!Dr. R. Moonilal: The Opposition, United National Congress, had littleproblem in supporting this measure—the OSHA—given our commitment toworkers, trade unions and citizens in Trinidad and Tobago. The UNC pioneeredseveral pieces of progressive legislation during the period 1995 to 2001; youwould recall the Judicial Review Act, the Freedom of Information Act, theTelecommunications Authority Act; you would recall as well the legislation thatestablished the Joint <strong>Parliament</strong>ary Committees to investigate state enterprises. Inthe field of labour and employment, the UNC remains extremely proud of ourrecord on labour and employment. Once again, we need to recognize the verysuccessful and pioneering work done by the Member of <strong>Parliament</strong> for Nariva, thehon. Harry Partap.Mr. Speaker, it was left to a UNC Government to introduce, for the first time inthe history of Trinidad and Tobago, a minimum wage. [Desk thumping] It was theUNC Government that introduced legislation to protect women at the workplace.The UNC Government tried long and hard to have this OSHA passed, and on threeoccasions the PNM did not support it. They did not! As late as May, 2001 theyvoted against the OSHA. When—by the hook and by the crook—they got intooffice they brought the OSHA; identical piece of legislation that they votedagainst. It was the UNC that supported this measure.Mr. Speaker, the Member for Nariva would have in his mind his deep concernfor workers, his deep concern for the safety and health of all employeesthroughout Trinidad and Tobago. What the Member for Nariva could not havecontemplated when filing this Motion, is that at this time, mere weeks after filingthe Motion—this country has been reduced to a killing field in the industrialsector. [Desk thumping] The Member for Nariva would not have predicted that wewould have experienced such a horrible week involving the death of three personson a vessel, just this week. The headline read, “Death at Sea”. The Member forNariva would not have contemplated at that time that this measure and the failureof the Government would have had such tragic implication for the workers ofTrinidad and Tobago.


767Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>I intend today, to review the Health and Safety landscape in Trinidad andTobago to look at the failure of this Government in this context. I want to sayimmediately, that the tragedy for this country is that anytime the PNM finds itselfin office, people are dying; whether it is murder, kidnapping or industrialaccidents, they are dying. I just want to remind Members that in October, 1993,there was an explosion on board the Oslo Lady in which five dockyard workerswere killed.Mr. Speaker, the then hapless Minister of Works and Transport, the Memberfor Diego Martin East, who today, is the equally hapless Minister of Works andTransport, again. How history repeats itself in the most tragic of circumstances.2.00p.m.The Minister of Works and Transport came to this <strong>House</strong> in May 1994, almostsix months after the accident, to present a report acknowledging that dockyardworkers were killed, and several were injured, and explaining that after aninvestigation was undertaken that they have come to the conclusion that theaccident was caused by a failure to implement safety procedures.The Member for Diego Martin East recommended in May 1994 that no blamecould be held by any particular company or operator but really what caused theaccident was that everybody seems to be ignorant of safety manuals. So theMinister recommended that everybody should review their safety manuals. Fivepersons died, and the recommendation was to review safety manuals, emergencyplans and everything else.Mr. Speaker, health and safety is not about reviewing plans in the aftermath ofindustrial deaths; it is about preventing industrial deaths. In 1993, 11 persons werekilled at work. Would you believe that in <strong>2005</strong>, already in the first six monthsseven persons have been killed? This is another record year like 1993 in relationto occupational health, safety, and death at the workplace.The UNC Government in 1995 understood this situation well and moved withhaste to bring the necessary legislation to <strong>Parliament</strong> to secure its passage and toimplement it. The legislation and UNC government was defeated three times bythe then Opposition PNM. That by itself testifies to their commitment to health andsafety.Mr. Speaker, health and safety involves prevention, and I just want to indicateat the beginning of my contribution the historical origins of health and safety. Itwas in 1802 that the British <strong>Parliament</strong> first passed an Act to protect the health


768Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]and morals of apprentices in the textile and other factories. Even in 1802 it wasrecognized that industrial health and safety must be a matter of public policy andthat governments must drive health and safety at the workplace to protectworkers. It cannot be left to private sectors. It must be a public policy function. In1833, legislation was passed in the United Kingdom.Mr. Speaker, there are several fundamental principles relating to health andsafety. The first one is that labour inspection, and health and safety policy is apublic function and the chief responsibility of the Government.The second principle is that a state, in driving health and safety, must ensurecooperation between labour, employers and the government and it must be donewithin a collaborative framework involving employers, the government andworkers in their trade unions.Another fundamental principle is that for effective implementation of healthand safety, health and safety policy and practices must be based on research. Itmust be based on workplace studies and information data, otherwise when youthink of health and safety, you may be prescribing a particular safety code for oneindustry, while it is completely irrelevant for another industry and you may wantto apply that across the board.Mr. Speaker, another principle is that the orientation of health and safety mustbe on prevention. It cannot be that we wait for workers to be killed and then sendthe investigators and police to find out how and why they died. At present, noreport is forthcoming and we forget two, three months later.How many people remember the families of the five workers who were killedon the Oslo Lady in October 1993? How many people cared? Another centralprinciple of health and safety is that the coverage provided by that legislationshould be universal in that it must protect, not only workers in trade unions andwith a certain amount of protection already, but across the board, particularlythose in low-waged, low-skilled and exploitative job situations. Health and safetymust protect those workers.Mr. Speaker, consistent with those principles, the UNC government broughtthe Occupational Safety and Health Bill to <strong>Parliament</strong>. It was in the making foralmost 25 years, by now it is 30 years since this legislation is in the making. Itcannot be enforced and it will not be enforced. The legislation—and matterspertaining to it—has been on the board for 30 years and it could not beimplemented.


769Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>This PNM Government stands accused of violating the International LabourOrganization’s Convention on health and safety. Trinidad and Tobago is asignatory to the ILO Convention No. 155 concerning Occupational Safety andHealth and the Working Environment, 1991.Article 29(1) of this declaration states:Member States shall formulate a national policy on occupational health andsafety and shall enact and enforce the legislation necessary to protectoccupational health and safety and the working environment.Article 29 goes on to state:That employers shall provide a safe and healthy working environment andworkers shall perform their work in accordance with occupation health andsafety rules and regulations.Mr. Speaker, we are a signatory to this Convention and today, the Government'sfailure to implement the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), results in aviolation of the ILO Convention and the trade union movement will be within itsrights to report this Government to the Committee of Standards at theInternational Labour Organization and get their labour Minister to go to Genevato explain the position of the Government by its failure to do so.Mr. Speaker, in other matters in failing to implement legislation, theGovernment will stand accused of incompetence. Plain and simple!Mr. Singh: What Mc Leod has to say about this?Dr. R. Moonilal: They are concerned with the price of buns, currants roll andmilk cakes.Mr. Speaker, if the consequence of the failure to implement the legislationwas only the accusation of incompetence on the part of the Government thatwould be fine, but it is not just incompetence we are concerned about, we areconcerned about the lives of workers.I can say today that the PNM Government is guilty of the murder of LesterCharles. [Desk thumping] The PNM Government today is guilty of the murder ofAnthony Hamlett; Shivam Harrylal who died at Point Lisas in February; SangeetRampersad; and Leon Jackman at the API pipeline. The PNM is guilty of murder,these are not industrial accidents.Mr. Speaker, let me explain that when you do not provide protective gears forworkers, when workers are working out of fear, when workers, out of economic


770Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]duress must go to weld on a ship as the case may be, when they are working outof fear that if they do not go they would lose their job, when they have noprotective gear, when they have no health and safety training, and when no riskassessment has been carried out, the result cannot be an accident. It is a wilful actof corporate and governmental murder on behalf of the Government. [Deskthumping]An accident is where you have provided and, by unforeseen circumstances,something happens. You are welding, or you are on a scaffold somewhere andlightning flashes and that triggers an electrical malfunction. You may go as far tosay that you did not plan for the lightning, although you can look at the weatherand decide. But when you place workers in a position where they will be injuredor killed, that cannot be an accident. They are guilty of murder, and to this dayconcerning the five workers who were killed on the Oslo Lady—and I have notreached to the accident this week on the vessel. In the cases of industrial accidentsat sea, nobody is to be blamed, nobody to be compensated, nobody to be found.This enabled employers to run away from the scene of the crime.Mrs. Persad-Bissessar: Why?Dr. R. Moonilal: Mr. Speaker, accidents at sea, particularly on offshoreinstallations and on ships and so forth, operate in a different environment to afactory, or a manufacturing firm at an industrial estate, and on several occasionsthey escape liability because they may not be deemed to be a factory, for thepurpose of taking preventative action. They may be deemed to be a factory toinvestigate after and I will come to some of those issues later.Mr. Speaker, I want to indicate as well to this Government that the blood ofthose workers who were killed flows from their Balisier flowers. To this day aworker was killed at Industrial Gases at Point Lisas and without the OSHAenforced—and I will explain matters pertaining to the OSHA shortly—we dependupon the company, in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, Small and MicroEnterprise Development to undertake some type of investigation and to makepublic or not, their findings.Mr. Speaker, it should not surprise you that to this day, concerning the deathof Shivam Harrylal at Point Lisas, we are told that there is no conclusive andcomprehensive report pertaining to the death of this worker as of now, <strong>June</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>.The accident took place in February, but even more diabolical—and I want to use


771Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>the word “diabolical” in the context of the new Minister of Labour, Small andMicro Enterprise Development because he pointed to a diabolical plot of the UNCat the University of the West Indies.In fact, the very distinguished Minister has served as Minister of Science,Technology and Tertiary Education, Minister of Housing and Settlement, Ministerof Legal and Consumer Affairs and now is privileged to serve as Minister ofLabour, Small and Micro Enterprise Development. What competence indicatedthat the Prime Minister usually placed him in a situation where a lot ofmanagement skill and judgment is required? Interestingly, the Prime Ministeralso removes him quickly from positions where a lot of judgments are required.But even more would be said about the Minister soon.Mr. Speaker, in a report in the Newsday of Wednesday, <strong>June</strong> 08, <strong>2005</strong> and Iam not dealing with the headline “UNC to Petition <strong>Parliament</strong> to have Bas attendsittings” but on the same page it says:“Montano:NOZZLE ‘MISSING’ FROM IGL MISHAP”And that is referring to their Montano. In the report by Sean Douglas on page 5, itsays:“Minister of Labour, Danny Montano, said a gas-cylinder nozzle which isa vital clue in the probe into the fatal accident which killed ShivamHarrylal at Industrial Gases Limited (IGL) has gone missing.His revelation came yesterday in the Senate in response toIndependent Senator Basharat Ali.”Mr. Speaker, we may never know what caused the death of Shivam Harrylalbecause a nozzle went missing. The family of this young man may never get acent of compensation because a nozzle went missing. Without the OSHA and itsadministration in place, nozzles go missing and a company like IGL will escapeliability, they will escape paying compensation, possibly criminal charges,because we do not have other types of legislation to deal with this. Anotheremployer runs away from the scene of the crime because a nozzle went missing.This is unacceptable and intolerable that a person can be killed at the workplaceand we cannot get a report so we can lay blame and take action because we cannotfind the nozzle. But this is the “Banana Republic” that we are going towards2020.


772Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]Mr. Speaker, as we await the report concerning the death of Shivam Harrylal,we have also had the death on the port of Marcus David who died in March. Wehave had Sangeet Rampersad who also died a few days before Marcus David onthe port and we have no report.Hon. Member: No nozzle?Dr. Moonilal: Well, I do not know what went missing there.Quite recently on <strong>June</strong> 07, <strong>2005</strong> at the API Pipeline workplace, Leon Jackman, ayoung brother—and this story is extremely touching—Leon Jackman’s mother diedlast year leaving young Leon Jackman to take care of his younger sister andbrother. He was working to send them to school and was killed on <strong>June</strong> 07, <strong>2005</strong>when the boom of a crane swung, struck him and he fell and died. He has now lefthis brother and sister both of whom are in school.Mr. Speaker, these young people are leaving dependent families and fatherlesschildren in some cases. I could never forget, Sangeet Rampersad called from theport to his house in San Juan to speak to his wife and to say “I love you” to hisyoung baby but he never returned home alive. That is the story of SangeetRampersad, Marcus David, Leon Jackman, and Shivam Harrylal, but that meansnothing to the Government of the day.This is a Government that took a decision to close Caroni (1975) Limited, torid the State of paying 10,000 workers and put the necessary administrativestructure in place to give the money to take care of the workers by counsellingthem to make toolum and sugar cake. They had the political will to do that, butthey do not have the political will to implement the OSHA. What is it in the OSHA?Do we need to get experts from another planet? Do we need to send someone touniversity for 10 years to get the necessary qualifications to sit on the authority?What is it about OSHA that we cannot implement, but we can close Caroni (1975)Limited?Mr. Speaker, the Government is in the back pocket of business. These arepoliticians backed by big businesses that will not permit the OSHA to be enforcedand I want to tell the nation today that it will be the next government of theUnited National Congress that will implement the Occupational Safety and HealthAct fully, not the PNM. It is the UNC that has to implement it because we stood onthe side of the rights of workers from the beginning.You would think that a Government would want to implement the OSHAbecause the health and safety risk associated with work appears to be predominantin the state sector. The Member before me spoke about the customs department


773Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>and the poor working conditions there, but could we recall workers taking strikeaction at the Chaguaramas Development Company (CDC) in February 2004, at theSugar Manufacturing Company, and workers at the Ministry of Health, ChemicalFood and Drug Division also took industrial action because of poor workingconditions that were impeding their health? Workers at Trinidad Cement Limitedand elsewhere, and we all remember the debacle at Carlisle Tyre and Rubber FreeZone—the Member for Point Fortin knows about that—where there were grossviolations of health and safety codes resulting in injury to workers.They spent $5 million in a scandal to pressure the UNC to support the PoliceReform Bills and you know they cannot hire people to go on a health and safetyauthority, to find the resources, pay and implement it. Why? This is the questionthe country must ask. Workers at the Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) areprotesting health and safety violations there and while this is happening, the Acthas been duly passed. In fact, we were so hurry to implement it that only onespeaker on the Opposition side, the Member for Couva North, spoke. We were soeager to have our word and move on, that one Member spoke. The Member forPoint Fortin announced on that day that it was a Christmas gift to the workersfrom the PNM Government.Mr. Ramsaran: Which year was that?Dr. R. Moonilal: Christmas 2003. So you would think that the very fact thatit is public sector workers who are exposed in the main would force theGovernment to implement, but something else is happening in Trinidad andTobago. There is a rapid process of industrialization and investment in the heavyenergy sector involving the construction sector. There is enormous industrializationtaking place, firms are coming in, and construction is on the way, particularlyacross Central and South Trinidad. That means that many contractors are beingemployed to provide goods and services.It suggests that any Government with decency and a conscience willimplement health and safety laws because of the rapid industrialization in theenergy and construction sectors, that it will be driven to do it because of what ishappening in the economy. But no! Today, contractors will get their labourcontracts because they are friends of the PNM and that is the problem.When contractors are officers and friends of the PNM, they will not have theirPNM Government pass health and safety laws so they will have to spend moremoney from their pockets to buy protective gears, or to ensure that workers have acommittee to discuss health matters, or to submit themselves to the Ministry of


774Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]Labour, Small and Micro Enterprise Development. They have no intention ofdoing that because the contractors are making a big buck and some Ministers maybe collecting some “sweetbread” at the side. So if you have to spend money onhealth and safety, it is less “sweetbread”. It is logical. That is a baker’s equation.So in the service sector there are all sorts of violations.Mr. Speaker, workers from unions and non-union environment speak to me. Inthe private security industry because of increase in crime do you know personsare setting themselves up as providers of private security without training,certification and any sort of health and safety code and policy? In fact, banditsrobbed the headquarters of a private security company recently and stole a gunand they went around the block and picked up able-bodied young men who mayhave criminal records themselves, put them in a “blue duck” type uniform, orerase the word “CEPEP” from the back and give them a piece of wood and sendthem to guard. That is what is happening.They are out in the rain, they are in the sun, in areas with chemicals, they donot have proper shoes, et cetera. These private security operators have gonefurther, they are borrowing dogs. If they have to provide security, they go by afriend’s house and borrow his well-fed dog for a day. They put a muzzle on thedog and have it parading around a Government building, calling it canine security.That is what they are doing. Some change is passed to the dog’s owner but thereis no structure in place to monitor, and there is no labour inspector.Mr. Speaker, to monitor over 2,400 factories in this country—and the Memberfor Nariva can correct me—there are five labour inspectors. You cannot beserious about labour inspection, and you simply cannot be serious about OSHA ifthis is the role. We had the Member for St. Ann’s East as the Minister of Labour,Small and Micro Enterprise Development who was there for a short time. He didnothing wrong; he did nothing right; he had intentions to do good, but the PrimeMinister decided that there were important decisions to be made and he neededsome managerial competence there and placed the hon. Senator as the Minister ofLabour, Small and Micro Enterprise Development. And I must add my voice tothis, notwithstanding the Member for Chaguanas.This Senator, as far as I am concerned, has made the most idiotic andincompetent statement by anyone masquerading as a Minister to describe theuniversity campus as a constituency of a party, the campus, where the Member forTobago East is enrolled as a student. I have nothing against the hon. Minister, herepresents the spirit of the PNM and that is the PNM’s way of thinking. It is not the


775Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>hon. Minister alone because his colleagues have said nothing, so they must be inagreement. That is how they operate.Mr. Speaker, I am explaining the reasons why the OSHA must be implementedimmediately. We spoke of the industrial fatalities and about the expansion in theenergy and construction sectors. Also, because we are involved in buildingseveral industrial estates, Union Estate, and the expansion of Point LisasIndustrial Estate, a lot of work is taking place at Chaguaramas, and health andsafety is also linked to community health and safety.2.30 p.m.This is why residents in this country are now protesting. Citizens areprotesting the establishment of the aluminium company of America—Alcoa—building their plant in Cedros on the southwestern peninsula, because there arehealth and safety implications for that. Because when you put a plant, particularlyin the energy sector, involving the use of toxics and chemicals, gases, and so onthere for construction and production purposes, you must inform the communityof what is happening. Today governments are under a duty to inform communitiesof industrial expansion plans, to let them know what gases are being stored, keptand used and what are the possible dangers associated with that, so the residentsare aware. Otherwise persons will protest at every site that you are creating forindustrial expansion.Apart from the impact on the environment, which is another issue—and theenvironmentalists, and so on, will move on that—there are health and safetyprecautions. Under the OSHA, the Act that they will not enforce, there areprovisions in the Act to ensure that when you establish a factory, even if it is forstoring materials and equipment, you must register all the equipment andchemicals, and so on. So if you are storing any chemicals consistent with EMAguidelines, there must be a registry. The community must know what is beingstored there; in the event of an accident what can happen; what do we do in theevent of a leakage, and so on. This is part of OSHA. So when a chemical plantblows up at Debe, South Trinidad, we do not have to wait three months to find outwhat chemicals were there; we would have known and we would have knownwhat preventative steps to take quickly.But the banana republic approach is to store chemicals—fire, explosion. Whenpeople start looking deformed we find out what has happened, and three monthslater we say: “You know, this is a bad situation. You must relocate.” That is theapproach, after the fact. But OSHA deals with preventing industrial injury and


776Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]death; preventing communities from exposure to illness as a result of an accidentat a plant. But, you see, there is a cost associated with this. Employers must investin the plant. First, you have monetary and non-monetary investment. Under thisAct, workers at the place of work must form themselves into a committee tomonitor health and safety, as a workplace health and safety committee. But, youknow, the employer must give time-off from work to participate in meetingsrelated to health and safety.Mr. Singh: Enlightened legislation.Dr. R. Moonilal: You are empowering workers. The Chief Inspector wouldvisit the plant and the factory and communicate with workplace councils, and soon, dealing with health and safety. This is what the Act does. Then they will haveto make changes at the place of work to ensure that you have the place in aparticular health and safety framework: Proper canteen facilities; properventilation; you must protect workers from dust; in some cases, noise; you mustprovide workers with a lot of protective equipment. Even elevators must be tested,and when you go in an elevator you would see a certificate stating the date onwhich it was tested and the next date the test is due. So if you are in an elevatortravelling in a building when OSHA is implemented, you can just look on theelevator and realize whether it is suitable or not; whether it has been tested andduly certified. All equipment; I am just using the elevator as an example.That places a cost on the employer. Wait until the elevator stops working,whether somebody is in there with asthma or not, or whether somebody is sick;just wait for it to stop working and you fix it. That is the approach of thisGovernment because the employers must pay and government must work,establish the structure, authority and implement. Today we have in the workplace,as well, because of the passage of this Act, but the failure to implement, anothergroup of fly-by-night safety racketeers emerging. Everybody is teaching healthand safety now, because they believe this would be enforced when the UNCreturns to power and people must learn about it. But there is no standardization;no quality control; no monitoring of the delivery of training. Not all would be asqualified as the Member for Couva South. There is no monitoring of the provisionof training and education. So, again, the market opens up for schemers to come inand operate because they believe health and safety legislation eventually would beimplemented.I was making the point of the importance of the community. On the APIproject workers have again protested, in the aftermath of the death of Mr.Jackman concerning poor safety standards. But where is the government


777Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>authority, the agency, to monitor procedures, process, standard, code, policy?There is none in place. While we wait on reports, and so on, Petrotrin is alsoprotesting. It is important to list so we can understand: “Petrotrin workersprotesting again, health and safety.” The Member for Couva South might respondto that.Very interesting, the brother of one of the workers killed in the last coupledays on the vessel at Chaguaramas—just to put the name on record, the TradewindSunrise. What a paradox. The brother of one of the victims stated that he wantedhis brother to get out of that compound. There was a sign at the place of work thatstated: “Safety at your own risk”. Could you imagine that?Mr. Singh: It is like a parking lot.Dr. R. Moonilal: That is the sign they had there. When we saw this ontelevision, I thought they were still filming the movie in St. James and this waspart of it. I could not believe that this would take place and workers would bekilled. The three bodies, I believe, have been found—Dr. Khan: Would the Member give way? Would the Member like to take avote now on the Motion? Standing Order 39, Mr. Speaker. Is it possible to closethe debate now?Mr. Speaker: Section 39 talks about if the Speaker considers the matter isfully debated, but many Members would like to speak. Your Motion is premature.Dr. R. Moonilal: Mr. Speaker, I would leave it for the Member for Nariva toindicate when he would like—I am sure the Member for San Juan/Baratariawould be interested in a couple other points I want to make.I want to make another point at this moment, that while Trinidad andTobago—and I am looking now for a tame word—Mr. Speaker: Hon. Members, the speaking time of the hon. Member forOropouche has expired.Motion made, That the hon. Member’s speaking time be extended by 30minutes. [Mr. G. Singh]Question put and agreed to.Dr. R. Moonilal: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.While it took Trinidad and Tobago 30 years to pass health and safetylegislation and may take another 10 years to implement, do you know the world


778Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]has moved ahead? In this area of health and safety, there are now new hazards atthe workplace outside of the traditional industrial accidents and exposure tochemicals that we know. Do you know at the workplace we are now treating withpsychological and physical violence under the umbrella of health and safetyleading to stress? In the United Kingdom in a recent study, they studied workersthere. Eighty per cent of workers said they felt under stress at work.A global issue that confronts all decent countries in the area of occupationalhealth and safety is a matter that must concern Trinidad and Tobago at this time.It is the matter of sexual harassment at the workplace. [Desk thumping] It is amatter involving the psychological and physical health of workers, primarilywomen. In Trinidad and Tobago, unlike the United Kingdom and severaldeveloped countries, we do not have comprehensive policy and laws prohibitingsexual harassment at work. Female workers are exposed to predators at theworkplace.In the United Kingdom many of you would have followed the allegations ofsexual harassment in the armed services, also at the famed football association.You would have followed that matter involving a former employee at the footballassociation's headquarters. The name of the worker was Faria Alam, aged 38, whoclaimed that she was sexually assaulted and certainly harassed by managers at thefootball association.Mrs. Job-Davis: It is her word against theirs.Dr. R. Moonilal: You did not say that with the HIV Bill.This is a serious matter. Recently in Trinidad and Tobago we had to face themost shocking exposure of sexual harassment in the public service, where achairman of a state board was accused of sexual assault and harassment of youngemployees and the Member for Caroni East came to the <strong>House</strong> and read into therecord, the allegations. Mr. Speaker, this country needs laws to protect women.[Desk thumping] It is now our information that in the biggest cover-up in thehistory of industrial relations, the Government agreed to take $175,000 oftaxpayers’ money to cover up and pay as compensation to the employee so thatthis matter would not be heard and determined by the Industrial Court of Trinidadand Tobago. Here it is that the Industrial Court would never be able to hear anddetermine the matter as to whether or not the culprit there was, indeed, guilty andwhat action can be taken against him. But in the biggest cover up in our history, ina scandal, involving a citizen from another country; allowed to come in here andmolest young women in Trinidad and Tobago—$175,000 as compensation and


779Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>another $60,000 as consultation fees, paying the industrial relations consultants.So what we have had now is over $225,000 of taxpayers’ money to cover up, toprotect and to throw a curtain over a sexual predator who should have beenneutered in the first place—not protected. [Desk thumping] And to use taxpayers’money to do that is a bigger scandal and criminal offence of this Government, toprotect sexual predators.This Government must answer. It no longer has moral authority to speakabout worker protection. It cannot, when it takes taxpayers’ money to pay offpeople. Let me give you the juicy part of this agreement. That is not it. Theagreement reached also included certain understandings that there would be nowriting; that the matter would be withdrawn from the Industrial Court and theparties would not go to the media.Mr. S. Panday: Gag order.Dr. R. Moonilal: So you would not go to the media to expose the predators;nothing is in writing so you cannot go to the Industrial Court and find a consentorder. They just paid the money! It was like pickup money by “Smokey andBunty”; you come with a briefcase, you pay and you go. That is how they coverup sexual harassment. And they are fighting in the Cabinet over this matter! Theywant to fire a Minister over this matter because the Cabinet has lost all moralauthority to speak about workers’ rights. [Desk thumping]This is how they treat workers—health and safety—harassment. How can weretain our qualified workers when you try to rape them? How can you retainworkers who are intelligent and qualified? They would leave. And this countryfaces another crisis where the Government has conceded that there is a braindrain. Workers are leaving. The newly appointed Minister of Science, Technologyand Tertiary Education, Minister Mustapha Abdul-Hamid, says Governmentcannot force university graduates to stay in T&T. In the Guardian of <strong>June</strong> 21,<strong>2005</strong> at page 8 this Minister, in the most reckless statement ever made abouthuman resources, says:“You cannot detain people or restrain people from pursuing their goals.”Every country in the world is trying to put in place policies to keep their valuablehuman resource. Do you know that it is a strategy of some countries to give goodconditions to keep their bright people at home? But we are saying through ourMinister—and this Minister is in charge of education—“But if you want to go, wecannot do anything to keep you here.” So what happens when, in a country assmall as Trinidad and Tobago, our bright, creative and brilliant resources leave?


780Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]Human resources are also a limited resource and when they are qualified and theygo—I have said it before, children of PNM Ministers studying in Europe andAmerica would not come back home to develop their country, and today, theMinister in charge of tertiary education is saying: “We can't stop them if theywant to go.”The former Minister of Health under the eggnog scandal, what was his name?Mr. Ramsaran: Eckstein?Dr. R. Moonilal: Yes. He is now chairman of the Eastern Regional HealthAuthority. He made a statement yesterday and said that doctors and youngprofessionals of Trinidad and Tobago origin do not want to work there; foreignersare coming and using the place as a platform to go on to other things.So here it is, our domestic qualified intellectual capital is unable to remain athome. What is the Government doing to attract them—to keep them? Could youimagine in an island like Trinidad and Tobago, we complain that people do notwant to work somewhere because it is too far? How does that work in Europe, inAmerica? Imagine people in Trinidad and Tobago not liking to work somewherebecause it is too far. But if that is the case, you must put certain incentives inplace; whether it is housing; allowances for travelling; relocation, whatever it is.Make it attractive for people to work, whether it is in Toco, Moruga, Chaguaramas,wherever. Give them incentives to stay in Trinidad and Tobago.I am afraid that if more of our young graduates continue to leave we would beleft with the PNM Cabinet; we would be left with that quality of human resources,which we would reshuffle every three months. You have serial re-shufflers acrossthere.The Government must tackle head-on this problem of a brain drain. Look atwhat happened to Guyana. The most brilliant Guyanese are outside of Guyana.Look at Haiti. I do not know if Members know, but Haiti has, per capita, the mostscientists, artists, writers and creative personalities in the Caribbean. You do notknow that? That is true. But do you know what? There are none in Haiti. All areabroad in France, Europe, and so on. So the most brilliant people of the Republicof Haiti do not live in Haiti. Guyana is the same thing. The Member for LaventilleEast/Morvant should stay here. He has a lot of unfinished work to do. TheGuardian described him as “hot air”.I am saying to this <strong>House</strong> that in the area of health and safety, there are newchallenges. Sexual harassment is one. Another new challenge that the UNC


781Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>government must commit itself to facing is the issue involving noise pollution.We believe that noise pollution is only a factor at heavy industry sites,construction sites, and so on, so you put on some protective equipment. But noiseis now a hazard faced by workers in the entertainment industry, working in adiscotheque or a nightclub; faced in the hotel sector.There are other challenges, of course, in the field of ergonomics where younow have to orient furniture and the place of work to the demands of technology.They have done a study recently in the United Kingdom to suggest that personswho sit behind a computer for extended hours develop problems with blood clotsin their legs, apart from the problems associated with the wrists.Mr. Singh: Carpal syndrome.Dr. R. Moonilal: These are issues that a modern government concerned withdevelopment, would challenge, rather than trying to implement a law 30 yearsfrom now that we pass and rather than being in the pocket of their businessfriends.Do you know who is one of the chief culprits in health and safety? Believe itor not, it is British Petroleum (BP). Research in the United States suggests to usthat BP is the leading company in terms of the refining industry, in deaths over thelast decade. They have had 22 fatalities since 1995 in the United States:“British multinational BP leads the US refining industry in deaths.”Shell is another one. But, you know, the difference with BP and Shell, compensationmeans nothing. Shell was found guilty in an industrial accident where twoworkers in the North Sea were killed. Do you know how much Shell had to pay incompensation? They paid £900,000. The quarterly profit of Shell is £2.7 billion.So that to the big players in the energy sector, compensation is nothing. Ifsomeone dies, they would send a wreath and pay for the funeral expenses, and soon, but they would not care.We must consider passing legislation in this <strong>Parliament</strong> as they intend to do inthe United Kingdom, to create an offence of corporate manslaughter [Deskthumping] where companies and the responsible director or manager must be triedfor an offence of manslaughter if it is because of their negligence that workers arekilled at the place of work. We must consider that if a worker is killed, that thecompensation must come from the pay of the chief executive officer; from hisbonus package; from his salary. You have to think of stringent measures whenyou are dealing with these matters. Telling BP to pay £900,000 is irrelevant; it is


782Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]negligible. Even my friend from Ortoire/Mayaro could pay that as compensation.Our friend from Port of Spain South could come up with £900,000, I am sure.That is negligible.So the money cannot be the issue. We need to adopt a very serious approachto treating with companies that are involved in promoting poor health and safetypractices. A future UNC government would also have to treat with the specificdangers, accidents and incidents that occur in the heavy energy sector. We cannottreat the development at Point Fortin at the API pipeline project like a cocoaplantation. There are more risks associated there, and you must focus there. Theyare now proposing legislation in other countries to deal with specific sectors forthe purpose of health and safety. We would have to get health and safety codes todeal with accidents offshore on platforms, because that is a problem we face,given our economic structure. These are the challenges of the day. Before weconfront these challenges, we cannot implement a law drafted in 1976, passed in2003, and today it literally blows up our faces in accidents.I just want to walk through the accident on the vessel, Tradewind Sunrise. Weare still governed, would you believe, by something called the Factory Ordinanceof 1948. I actually have it here in this book of law, with a rusty clip here. The clipalso tells you the age. Under the Factory Ordinance we have to inspect factories.This is not to prevent accidents as such, you know, unlike the OSHA. We have fiveinspectors for about 2,500 factories and if something happens we look into thisold book and we find out that under section 47 of the Factory Ordinance you caninvestigate an accident on a ship.What happens when you get this report? Let me just walk through the crime,as it were: You conduct an investigation—let us assume the nozzle could befound—and you lay blame somewhere. In this business, I think a company by thename of Melville Shipping is the agent for that ship. [Interruption] Who was theCEO? “Putna”? So Melville Shipping is the agent and there is a local inter-islandcontractor. So you have a local contractor, Melville Shipping as the agency andyou have the vessel coming in. Who is responsible for these workers here? Let usassume that you get a report—although you would get none—that would say inany conclusive way who or what is to blame—generally the system is to blameand generally we need to get safety manual and if we get that it would not happenagain. So let us assume for a moment that you could lay blame somewhere. Is itthe subcontractor? Is it the contractor, the agency that the vessel owners hire?Who is responsible for these workers? That is your first problem.


783Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>Then how do you try to convict? The Ministry of Labour, Small and MicroEnterprise Development has a procedure, of course, where you can take yourreport and go to the court. Who is remaining there on that boat to go to the Port ofSpain Magistrates’ Court? What offence are you looking at? Is it a criminaloffence of one kind or another? It is almost impossible to prosecute any humanbeing concerning an accident like that at this moment.We have not spoken of the legal implications involving a foreign owner,whether the foreign owner may be liable in some way. But let me walk youthrough the problem under the OSHA: Let us assume OSHA was implemented. Thefirst thing is that the contractor—Mr. Ramsaran: That is a dream.Dr. R. Moonilal: Well, dream for a moment that the OSHA has beenimplemented under the PNM and the contractor, with this workforce, would havehad to do, what is called, a risk assessment of the job on paper, indicating thenature of the job and the risk associated with it; the contractor would also have tostate all the equipment and chemicals, and so on, that he or she is using, andwhether it has been tested; whether they are working properly and they arecertified by the different manufacturers. So you have a list of chemicals andequipment. All this is before the job. The contractor would need to ensure that theworkers are provided with protective gear; that if they are on scaffold, it is thebest protective gear being used. The contractor would have to ensure in the riskassessment that whatever danger may be present there, is known to the worker.But more than that, the worker himself can look at the job site and upon gettinghis instructions can say: “Hold on, Mr. Employer. I believe that my life could bein danger if I go there. I believe that this is still dangerous and I believe that youshould take further precaution because there is a possibility of leakage of gases inthe environment; there is a possibility that the equipment you are using has notbeen inspected. Instead of four strands, you have three working properly.”The employee can take action to report to the Ministry of Labour, Small andMicro Enterprise Development through the Chief Inspector—Mr. Partap: But they objected to that.Dr. R. Moonilal: Yes, they objected to that because they are also employers.The worker has rights. The employer has obligations in writing even beforeyou get to the job site and you have to implement that according to the OSHA. Youcannot go in a van, drive around the village and pick up labourers and carry them


784Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[DR. MOONILAL]out on a vessel or a worksite. That is dangerous. So had the OSHA been in force—we cannot say with 100 per cent certainty that you would not have accidents at aplace of work. By definition, construction sites, and so on, would have risksinvolved, but they deal with risk assessment; they deal with educating workers;with proper training.Do you know under the OSHA the workers who are involved in a particular jobsite must have some technical training in the area? Even if someone is a labourerand he believes that the person who is the foreman or supervisor is not trained forthat job, he can object as well, under the OSHA. This is why if you had the OSHAin place, the families of Lester Charles and Anthony Hamlett would not be inmourning today. [Desk thumping] They would not be in mourning in DiegoMartin and Carenage. They represent the people who were killed, but will notprotect them! [Desk thumping] Those are their constituents who are flying off aship in an explosion and you do not see the outrage; you do not see the concern.Had the OSHA been in force, we could have prevented the industrial deaths thatwe are witnessing in such a horrible manner today. The OSHA would prevent that.We go back to 1993—11 killings in 1993. By almost the end of <strong>June</strong> <strong>2005</strong>, therewere seven. [Interruption] You could be kidnapped; you could be murdered; youcould be blown up at an industrial site. That is the state of the country today.I was on the discussion of new issues at the place of work: There is thepsychological health of workers. It is not only sexual harassment, but other areasas well, like mental stress. We have noticed workers in the health sector. Do youknow nurses and doctors can be violently attacked by patients or relatives ofpatients?Mr. Ramsaran: With AIDS.Dr. R. Moonilal: With or without AIDS. Do you know teachers can beviolently abused and attacked by students and parents? These are some of the newchallenges that cause a progressive, competent and socially aware government toreact, to bring policy and law to deal with this. Instead, we have a new Minister ofLabour, Small and Micro Enterprise Development who has distinguished himselfcalling on workers to eat provision. [Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker, unless we do not know, this Minister of Labour, Small andMicro Enterprise Development has no training, no experience, no qualification,no certification in any labour-and employment-related field, or in any other field,we may go so far, because we do not know. The Member for Point Fortin, ofcourse, was a former judge in the industrial court, a practitioner in the field who


785Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>came to this <strong>House</strong> and piloted the Bill. Well, he left when he accused theGovernment of being anti-working class and anti-trade union. The new Ministerarrives there. The Minister has a reputation that I am sure would follow him. We,on this side, will not expect this Minister to be part of any progressive measure ofimplementing anything; the Member for St. Ann’s East, maybe, but certainly notthe Senator. This Senator has an agenda which is very clear. He has represented tothe country his views on the university and I assume those would be the views onany other public sector enterprise as well. That is the view of their party. While allthat is happening, Trinidad and Tobago is really left in the bush; left in a primitivestate as it relates to health, safety and the environment, by their failure toimplement these measures before us today.We are predicting that more and more workers and citizens would protest theincompetence and arrogance of this Government. We call on the trade unionmovement to join us in the Opposition; we call on all NGOs; we call upon civicsociety, to join us as we apply unbelievable pressure on this Government toimplement the Occupational Safety and Health Act.Thank you, Mr. Speaker. [Desk thumping]The Minister of Labour, Small and Micro Enterprise Development (Sen.The Hon. Danny Montano): Mr. Speaker, I did not realize when I came here thisafternoon that I would be the subject of the debate—Hon. Member: No, you are not. [Crosstalk]Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: I thought we were talking about the OccupationalSafety and Health Act. Let me just put a couple things aside. One of the thingsthat I can certainly do is apologize, and I would certainly apologize for the lack ofintellectual wit of those Members on the other side who fail to understand certaincomments that I made in another place.Let me just make it very clear. When I was speaking the other day in the otherplace, if I had intended to say “East Indians”, I would have said “East Indians”.However, that was not on my mind at all. One has to look at the economic andsocial circumstances of the country and the tendency of the constituencies on bothsides in the same way in the United States the African Americans tend to supportthe Democrats. The reason for that is primarily social and economic. Now, youcould say it is race, because they are a race; that would be part of the explanation,perhaps, but it does not necessarily follow. [Crosstalk]


786Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[SEN. THE HON. D. MONTANO]So let me just say that I do apologize to the community for the, certainly,misleading statements of the Members of the other side—Mr. Singh: What misleading statements?Sen. The Hon. D. Montano:—for putting words into my mouth, which I didnot say and did not intend. [Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker: Order!Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: Let me just explain something. The dollar-fordollarplan, everybody knows what it was. They invented it; they articulated it;they put it into place. In 2001, there were approximately 4,000 beneficiaries of thedollar-for-dollar plan, which, of course, required that anybody who wanted atertiary education, first of all, had to have the first dollar and the Governmentwould give you the second dollar.Mr. Speaker: Senator, I know the Members are probably anxious to hearwhat you have to say, not only in this <strong>House</strong>, perhaps in the other place. You areopening up the debate here, so be very careful. What we are about here is on thisorganization, safety and health. All I am doing is warning you that you areopening the debate.Mr. S. Panday: Do not save him from himself!Mr. Speaker: I am not saving him, I am just telling him—Mrs. Persad-Bissessar: Why you want to protect him? [Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker: Order! Order! Please continue.Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: Mr. Speaker, I would be guided. I would justfinish the sentence that I was making which was, in 2001 there were 4,000beneficiaries; today there are <strong>24</strong>,000 beneficiaries under the Government AssistedTertiary Education (GATE) Programme, telling you clearly that there was a needthere that the UNC simply did not recognize or acknowledge.Mr. Singh: Nonsense! You are a liar of the first order!Mr. Speaker: Order. No, no. You have to withdraw it. You know that. Andyou also have to apologize.Mr. Singh: Mr. Speaker, I withdraw it.Mr. B. Panday: They call us liars here all the time!Mr. Speaker: Opposition Chief Whip, I mean, you of all persons know better.


787Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>Mr. Singh: I withdrew it.Mr. B. Panday: Why only when it is said on this side? They call us liars hereall the time!Mr. Singh: He is a stranger to the truth! [Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker: Order!Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: Four thousand to <strong>24</strong>,000 is not a lie; it is thetruth.Mr. Singh: Diabolical! Stranger to the truth!Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: With the matter at hand, let me just describe abit of the challenge that the Government is facing with the Occupational Safetyand Health Act at this point. The speakers that I heard on the other side and that Iread—the mover of the Motion—have painted the Government as if there issomething sinister in our not having the Act proclaimed at this point, when thereality is that there are certain institutions that are required to be set up before itcan actually work. But it is not the only Act that has been passed in <strong>Parliament</strong>that has not yet been proclaimed. [Desk thumping] Let me just give you a little listof what is still outstanding:The Landlord and Tenant Act of 1981.The Land Law and Conveyancing Act of 1981.Mr. S. Panday: Under the PNM!Mr. Speaker: Order!Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: I continue:The Trustee Act, 1981The Limitation of Certain Actions Act, 1981The Condominiums Act, 1981The Land Registration Act, 1981The Succession Act, 1981The Telecommunications Authority Act, 1991The Immigration (Caribbean Community Skilled Nationals) Act, 1996—Mr. Valley: “Leh meh hear yuh”. “I ain’t hear yuh”.


788Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: It continues:The Constitution (Amdt.) Act, 1999The Land Adjudication Act, 2000The Land Tribunal Act, 2000The Registration of Titles to Land Act, 2000The Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Identification Act, 2000The Dangerous Dogs Act, 2000The Socially Displaced Persons Act, 2000The Children's Authority Act, 2000;The Children’s Community Residences, Foster Homes and Nurseries Act,2000The Adoption of Children Act, 2000;The Children (Amdt.) Act, 2000The Justice Protection Act, 2000.Mr. Ramsaran: Would the Minister give way?Hon. Member: No, “doh” give way!Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: So this is not something new, nor is itsomething sinister. But, you know, I heard the previous speaker describe theGovernment as killing all these workers who have been killed over the last fewmonths; that somehow the PNM was responsible for the 10 or 11 deaths over thelast few months. But if he is so concerned over the lives of our citizens, then whydoes he not support us on the crime bills when over 150 persons have lost theirlives this year? [Desk thumping]Mr. S. Panday: That cannot prevent anything!Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: Mr. Speaker, this puts the lie to everything thathas been said on that side, and they should be ashamed of themselves to comehere and accuse the Government of killing anybody when we are talking aboutworkers and yet 150 citizens have lost their lives as a result of their failure tosupport us on the crime bills. [Crosstalk]The last speaker before me spoke about the missing nozzle. Of course, youcan expect that my utterances in the other place were taken completely out of


789Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>context; completely misinterpreted. But that is fair game. It is for the people todecide what the truth is and what is not the truth. But let me just explain to you,Sir, exactly what the situation is.It appears from the evidence that we have so far, that the tank that explodedwas an acetylene tank that was inadvertently or wrongly connected to an oxygenmanifold. The oxygen manifold has a pressure of 2,200 psi, whereas an acetylenetank can accommodate a pressure of only 300 psi. In the explosion, it is likely thatthe nozzle was ejected and cannot be found. It is not missing. It would help in theinvestigation but it is not going to provide any conclusive evidence. What would,is the testing that is being done abroad that would identify the metal that was usedin the tank that would confirm that the tank was, in fact, an acetylene tank asopposed to an oxygen tank. When we get that report then we can definitively sayit was an acetylene tank and that was the cause of the explosion.Mr. Singh: When is that?Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: We should have that by the middle of July. Thatis my information.Hon. Member: What year?Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: This year.Dr. Rowley: Having misled the public, they turn it into a joke.Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: Exactly. They mislead the public and then wantto make a joke out of it.To go a bit further, the last speaker also said that the Government was in thepocket of big business and that is why we have not proclaimed the OccupationalSafety and Health Act. Let me just be very clear on this. In the few short weeksthat I have been in office, I have had the privilege and the opportunity to meetseveral of the trade union leaders; very interesting, bright persons who certainlycarry out an unenviable job, I can assure you of that, but one that is wellrecognized by this administration.Let me assure you that while I have also met with the Employers ConsultativeAssociation (ECA)—we had a very brief meeting of about one hour where wewere just getting to know one another and getting to see what was on their agendaand what was on mine, and so on; it was just a very general chat—outside of that Ihave had absolutely no conversations with anybody from the private sector. Andyou would think that if this administration was in the pocket of the private sector,


790Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[SEN. THE HON. D. MONTANO]I would have received instructions from someone on high; I would have hadcertain members of the private sector calling on me to tell me, well, you know,what is what, and so forth.Let me assure you that no deals have been made. This Bill was passedintentionally by this administration with the intention of making good law for thecitizens and the workers of Trinidad and Tobago.One of the other speakers spoke about the genesis of this Act. As you know,the genesis of this Act goes back a long way. In fact, the PNM administration of1991—1995 actually brought a version of this to <strong>Parliament</strong>. It went to acommittee of the <strong>Parliament</strong>; it died there and then it came back in a slightlydifferent incarnation under the UNC administration, and you know what happenedthere. We have finally managed to bring it to this point and it has received theconsent of Members on all sides.That is a historic thing and it happened under the PNM. Let me assure you thatthe Government intends to proceed with this at the earliest opportunity. I havebeen speaking, in the limited time—I cannot believe how limited that time hasbeen. I have had discussions with the members of the factory inspectorate and weare working through the Act, line by line, section by section, subsection bysubsection, to determine what we can actually do and what we need to have asecond look at, and what we cannot do given the existing state of the machinerythat we have. I am advised that the machinery required to manage the agency isgoing to require a full staffing, when we are finished, of 130. At this point, thefactory inspectorate comprises nine persons. We can still do this and vest thepower in these officers and have them transferred into the agency, but you can seethat there will be a tremendous vacuum in what we can do. So we need to get thisthing done. What we are looking at now is to find those sections that we can, infact, implement and do something meaningful with.I also advise that there will be—because I have seen the need for it myself—some minor amendments to certain parts of the Act. The ECA, in my discussionwith them the other day, made one or two suggestions that immediately I couldsee made a certain amount of sense that needed me to sit and think it through; todiscuss it with the stakeholders in the business to see whether that is the way thatwe should go or whether we should leave it exactly as it is. But let me assure youthat this is going to happen sooner rather than later.Some of what Mr. Partap said was quite interesting and valid, but some of itwas a bit off the mark. In one part of his contribution he said—referring to the ISGplant at Point Lisas—that because of the absence of the OSHA the company was


791Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>getting off with minimum payments in compensation. As it stands now, theOccupational Safety and Health Act does not deal with compensation, and heknows that, because later on in his contribution he talked about another Bill thathad been drafted some time ago to deal specifically with compensation, that is theEmployment Injury and Disability Benefits Bill.That is something that we have to deal with and it is something that is, in fact,very close to my heart. Prior to the accident of two days ago in Chaguaramas, I hadstarted saying to the factory inspectorate that notwithstanding the fact that at thispoint we do not have the legislative authority to demand satisfactory compensationfrom employers, we would nevertheless take the challenge upon our ownshoulders to do precisely that; to demand that workers who are injured, maimed orkilled, that their families be properly compensated. What is properlycompensated? I have articulated that we, in the Ministry, would look at it; wewould look at the earnings of the worker. There are certain multiples that are usedin Britain, Canada and Australia, and we would use some of those examples andwe would start to ask the companies to make compensation on a proper basis.We recognize that before we have this Act, the Employment Injury andDisability Benefits Bill, there is still much that the Government can say aboutcompensation. We can still say publicly: “You have not done enough.” We can dothat. We can also say to companies that do not treat fairly with their workers; wecan say to the rest of the workers: “Look at what your employer has done here. Ifhe is not looking after you, you take your own risk.” There is more pressure thatcan be brought to bear on the companies to have them do the right thing in theabsence of legislation, because this Government will make sure that the rightthing gets done at all times.Mr. S. Panday: Without legislation?Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: We cannot force it. But when you are asked tolead, you lead, and you lead from in front; you do not lead from behind.Just to talk a bit about the accident on Wednesday; a most tragic situation, andthe Member for Oropouche—[Interruption] Give me a break.Mr. Singh: Give you a break? We “doh” do that in this <strong>House</strong>!Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: You should come up to the other place.[Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker: Order!


792Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: The Member for Oropouche was suggestingthat, in fact, if we had the Act in force that the accidents that had occurred onWednesday and, in fact, all the accidents that he had referred to, would not haveoccurred. Then in another breath he said there would always be accidents. Yes,there always will be accidents, but at this point we have very little information onthe explosion that took place in Chaguaramas. The police have taken charge ofthat investigation and the fire services have prevented anybody from boarding thevessel because, apparently, there is still a scent of acetylene gas in the hold wherethe explosion occurred and they feel that there is still some danger. Therefore,officers from the Ministry of Labour, Small and Micro Enterprise Developmenthave been denied access, up until lunchtime today, to the vessel to actuallyexamine what had happened.The officer that I spoke to this morning was leaving me and going down to theAmbassador Hotel to talk to the crew which has been housed there, to try to getsome information. At this point it would be premature to lay any blame becausewe just do not know exactly how it happened. But let me assure you, I had themost unfortunate experience to go and speak to Mr. Hamlett’s mother and fatherthis morning and a couple members of his family and his younger sister, Alana.3.30 p.m.It comes back to what I was saying a little while ago. My officer on myinstructions spoke with the managing director of Interisle Construction and heconfirmed that he had workmen’s compensation insurance and they would lookafter the families of the victims. I sent the message that I expect him to do muchmore than that. I expect him to treat these families fairly and properly. I have nolegislative authority to do that. Let me underline that. Simply because we do nothave the legislative framework in place as yet, we cannot hide behind a vacancyof legal authority, when in fact we have a moral duty to do something better forthese families.I am putting employers on notice that the thrust of this ministry will be toimplement legislation to ensure that workers and their families are properlyprotected, not only from a legislative framework but also from a financialstandpoint. It must be! At the same time let me be very clear that I haveabsolutely no intention and I will not be a party to any impediment to theindustrialization and industrial progress of this country. We must strike a balanceand we will strike a balance. This administration above and beyond any otherknows how to do that.


793Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>One of the things that I intend to do is to make investigations as to the level ofcompensation that has been paid to workers who have been killed this year. Withthe permission of the families, if the compensation is not adequate I intend topublish it.Let me refer to one other thing. The Member for Oropouche said that underthe Occupational Safety and Health Act a worker can refuse to work if heconsiders the environment unsafe. That is true. However, I am advised and it ismy understanding that under the existing law that is also the case. A workercannot be made to work in an unsafe environment. This Act articulates it in aparticular way. That is not new and it will not necessarily have changed thecircumstances of what occurred on Wednesday. I have been so advised by thefactory inspectorate.There is one last thing that I will close on. The Member for Oropouche pattedhimself on the back and said that it was the UNC that brought in a minimumwage. The minimum wage issue was supported by this side and we havecontinued with the regime. There are problems with the minimum wage. Thereare people out there who are not given a full day’s work; they are given a partday’s work. Even with the minimum wage they are not making a minimum living.We will be looking at that over the next few months. The mantra now is no longerminimum wage but minimum income.Hon. Member: What is a minimum income?Sen. The Hon. D. Montano: Some of us do not understand the concept ofminimum living when we have expensive apartments in London. There are thoseof us who live more modestly that do understand what a minimum living is allabout.With those few words, I thank you very much.Mr. Kelvin Ramnath (Couva South): Mr. Speaker, I have not spoken for alittle while and I just thought that having regard to the importance of this Motion,it is important to make an intervention. I have noticed the departure of theMinister of Labour, Small and Micro Enterprise Development. He has beendeparting from several ministries within recent times. Having said very little ofimportance, I imagine that his absence is quite excusable.I find it very interesting that in his entire contribution he could only ensure thenation that soon we will see the coming into force of this legislation. One wouldexpect that something as important as this legislation will have a timetable to


794Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[MR. RAMNATH]effect because from our perspective, one death or serious injury is one too many.[Desk thumping] I happen to have the responsibility to manage health, safety andthe environment at one of the largest companies on the island.Mr. B. Panday: If he had his way you will not be there for too long.Mr. K. Ramnath: I do not want to sound self-serving, but I am very proud ofthe record of the company that I have the honour to manage that portfolio. It is inthe context of the legislation that we have been able—although it is notproclaimed—to tackle very serious issues of occupational safety and health. Thatis without the legislation and because you have progressive leadership. I amtalking about in health, safety and the environment.Mr. Manning: Who leads the effort?Mr. K. Ramnath: Had the Bill been proclaimed we would have certainlyseen an overall improvement in the country because this is an extremely importantand well thought out piece of legislation. This legislation has been patterned alongthe Health and Safety and Work Act of 1974 of Great Britain. The legislationrequires us to set up institutions, not simply to provide people with personalprotective equipment which will go so far in preventing damage. If you have anexplosion of the magnitude of what has occurred at IGL, or the Catcrackers severalyears ago, or the port, personal protective equipment is of very little value. I donot want to be misunderstood. That is only one aspect.When people are talking about safety it amazes me how ignorant manyindustry practitioners are. In this legislation we are dealing with the establishmentof an implementation of management systems. One of those systems is called theOccupational Health and Administrative Series, OSAS 18,000 standard which hasbeen developed mainly in Europe for the European community and has nowbecome the standard which is being implemented worldwide. The standard is soelaborate that you are looking at preventive measures so as not to have to dealwith picking up pieces of bodies at some stage. We are talking here about theemergency response.Very recently, after the tsunami, the Prime Minister summoned a team ofpeople to look at the emergency response in Trinidad and Tobago. I am sure thathe did that because he recognized that we did not have emergency responsecapability and plans in place to handle any major catastrophic situation. Forexample, if we were to have surges on the east coast we have not as yet conductedany modelling exercise to determine the extent of vulnerability of the east coast totidal surges. In the same way in the management of safety, companies are


795Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>required under this piece of legislation to conduct qualitative risk assessment andaudits monitoring tracking to ensure that you have proper statistics; there isaccident investigation capability and hazard operability studies and hazardousmaterial study.It is not only about giving a worker a pair of boots, a helmet and goggles. Youcannot weld on a ship unless the area has been gas freed for men to enter. Youmust have a permit to do hot work, or in the case of working on a high tensionwire at Pier I where there was an incident and a generator was turned on. Therewas no tag out. The man on the high tension wire is supposed to have the key tothe lock of the system, so when he comes down he would be sure that he is theonly one who could restart the supply of those high tension wires. There aresystems in place and well known standards that have been developed. TheAmerican Petroleum Institute has a whole series of standards. We are not going toget companies to implement these standards if they are not required to do so bylaw and the penalties are not— [Inaudible] [Desk thumping].The direct expenditure—I can say so without contradiction—on safety inPetrotrin for <strong>2005</strong>/2006 will be $70 million. That does not include the hundreds ofmillions of dollars that we have to put to ensure assets integrity and to ensure thatwe replace those assets which are likely to cause explosions and leaks. It is anexpensive business but a necessary intervention. When we on this side say that,this is not about criticizing the Government for its delay per se, it is aboutensuring that we put in place the mechanisms to save lives.One of my functions has been to investigate accidents. It is the most difficulttask for you to visit a scene and see body parts scattered as a result of somecatastrophic incident. The Prime Minister will recall the incident at the port manyyears ago when about 13 persons died.Mr. Manning: In 1985.Mr. K. Ramnath: In 1985. We are trying to find out whether they died fromdrowning or burning because the sea caught afire and those who felt that theycould have gone in the water to prevent themselves from being burned to death,found out that when they tried to come out of the water they were coming out inflames. Recent history is full of examples. What has happened in Bhopal is a goodexample of the callousness of Union Carbide; the lack of emergency response andsafety systems. The death toll in Bhopal is not even known. There are estimates.You will recall the Pipa Alfa incident when 183 persons died on the north sea;Flixsborough, Philips and, more recently, the BP fire in Texas where workers just


796Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[MR. RAMNATH]became consumed in flames and have disappeared. A point so well articulated bymy friend, the Member for Oropouche, when he spoke about money not being theproblem for these people. You cannot compensate people for loss of life.The deaths that we have had to deal with in Trinidad are too many. There arecompanies that are not reporting the truth with respect to industrial accidents.When I see on the newspapers where companies are advertising how manymillion man hours they have worked without a loss time injury, as a person in thebusiness for a long time, I say to my leadership at Petrotrin—unfortunately thatwas appointed by the present Prime Minister—something has to be wrong. A losstime injury is an injury that necessitates a worker staying away from work for twodays and more. A minor first aid is one where you go back to work.Doctors who work for many of these companies are told very clearly to sendthem back to do light duty. If the doctor sends you home for more than two days,it is recorded as a loss time injury. If you see the loss time injury rates in aunionized company being high, it is understandable because in unionizedenvironments you cannot tell doctors what to do with respect to sick leave or tellthe workers not to stay at home because they are ill. Our statistics today on theisland is very questionable as far as these figures with respect to loss time injury.Mr. Valley: I wonder whether the hon. Member could give us someindication concerning the loss time injury factor for Petrotrin.Mr. K. Ramnath: We report this to the Ministry of Labour, Small and MicroEnterprise Development. It is a great pity that the hon. Minister who is verytransient is not here.The loss time injury is reported as frequency rates. It is the number of losstime injuries per million man-hours worked. For Petrotrin it is around five injuriesper million man-hours worked. Our goal is to bring it down to first quartileperformance; that is about two. That is what we call first quartile benchmarking.It is not a standard. It is what first quartile companies aspire to. The standardshould be zero. There should be no accidents. When you benchmark yourselfagainst first quartile companies it should be down to about two.Mr. B. Panday: “With all dem question he trying to fire yuh, yuh know.”Mr. K. Ramnath: I am on my way out, Mr. Speaker. [Interruption] Not atall. Politically, I have a long time to go.


797Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>The cost of accidents is extremely high. Companies that feel this legislation isgoing to create a burden on them will certainly find out that in the long run it willbe an advantage to them to implement good safety management. In fact, you willnot be able to trade in a few years’ time if you are not ISO 14001 certified. Let meassure you that under my charge Petrotrin has been ISO 14001 certified. As partof the trading arrangements you will be required to be safety certified. Companieswill not be able to manufacture in Trinidad and Tobago whether it ispetrochemical, steel or aluminium while polluting the environment. In thenorthern countries because of stringent legislation they have to invent much insafety. As far as the developed countries are concerned there is one environment,so whether you pollute in the southern hemisphere—we are one of the largestproducers of carbon dioxide because of our petrochemical per capita. They are notconcerned whether you pollute in Trinidad or in the United States. They areconcerned that you must not have an unfair advantage.These standards are going to be mandatory in a short while. The Member forDiego Martin Central knows that the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), if itever comes on stream, requires us to do much upgrading of our plants at Petrotrinto ensure that we have cleaner fumes and environmentally sound operations. Itwill be in the best interest of companies to begin to implement safety andenvironmental management standards.The technocrats in the Ministry of Labour, Small and Micro EnterpriseDevelopment have laboured hard across the country to talk about the benefits ofthis legislation. They have been to my company on several occasions to talk abouthow we can implement the provisions of this legislation in a very short period oftime. The obstacle to this is the lack of will on the part of the present Governmentto ensure that the present legislation is proclaimed. It has nothing to do with thenine persons. The Prime Minister knows that he can find any number of people atany time to do whatever he wants. If it requires 130 persons at its peak, in a veryshort period of time we can find many competent persons to ensure that thislegislation is proclaimed and implemented.I want to disagree. The Member for Nariva passed me the regulations thatwere made in 1996 under this very Act. All the Government has to do is to gothrough these regulations. It would have been the public servants or consultantswho would have gone through this. Now they have to look at these regulations toascertain whether—Mr. Valley: I wonder whether the Member can explain that given thoseregulations were drawn up in 1996 and not even the Bill was passed by 2001, the


798Occupational Safety and Health Act <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[MR. VALLEY]]fact that the Bill was passed early last year, can he not see that there is a difficultywith the legislation? The Minister pointed out that there is legislation to beproclaimed dating back to 1981, can he not see that the structures which need tobe put in place may require some time?Mr. K. Ramnath: The Member for Diego Martin is taking advantage of mygood nature, this afternoon. I do not know what he is talking about.This Bill has not changed and regulations were made. The problem is they didnot support the Bill. The Bill only became law when we supported it and gave therequired majority to enact. You rejected it on three occasions for whateverreasons. I would like the Government to say what it has difficulties with. Whatpart of these regulations offends it to the point that it does not wish to take theregulations and lay them in the <strong>House</strong> so that they will become law?[Interruption]I do not know why the condominium was built? I have asked the Member forDiego Martin West. Many people have questioned why that has not become lawbecause it is now a big industry and people do not know who lives above themand who lives below them and who owns what part of the ground at the bottom.That is a matter of incompetence.4.00 p.m.It is also an issue of not dealing with what is relevant in this society. Thefailure to implement this legislation is symptomatic of the Government's wholeapproach and that is non-performance. They have been in office now close to fouryears and they have nothing to show for it. I do not want to get into a longdiscussion so they could get me to digress from what I am here to say.One of the biggest problems with occupational safety in the industry has to dowith contractors. Contractors, although required by law and by agreement withthe trade unions, are supposed to pay certain rates for labour, they do not pay.Even though companies such as Petrotrin must pay according to Oilfield WorkersTrade Union (OWTU) rates, they do not pay. They violate all the health and safetyregulations. This area of health and safety is no longer one of policing, that is theleast of the management system. If you have systems in place to ensure thatcontractors follow—ADJOURNMENTThe Minister of Trade and Industry and Minister in the Ministry ofFinance (Hon. Kenneth Valley): Mr. Speaker, I beg to move that this <strong>House</strong> benow adjourned to <strong>Friday</strong>, July 01, <strong>2005</strong> at 1.30 p.m.


799Adjournment <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>I wish to inform hon. Members on that day we would continue to debate theHousing Bill, as well as to start the debate on the Venture Capital legislationwhich ought—[Interruption] July 01, <strong>2005</strong>.Mr. Speaker, as you are aware, there is a matter on the adjournment, whichwill take us to the normal Private Members’ Day time of 4.30 p.m.Mr. Singh: Mr. Speaker, I wish to strongly condemn this attempt to whittleaway Private Members’ Day. [Desk thumping] We have one day per month andthe convention and the practice is that we proceed to 4.30 p.m.Hon. K. Valley: But we are going to 4.30 p.m.Mr. Singh: If it is that the Member is saying that a matter on theadjournment—It eats into Private Members’ Day and suppose you have threematters on the adjournment, it simply cannot stand up to scrutiny. I think this isreally an attempt to stifle the Opposition and its time on Private Members’ Day.[Desk thumping] Once this practice is started there will be no stopping it.Mr. Speaker: Okay, you have made your point.Hon. Members, before we move the adjournment there is a motion on theadjournment to be raised by the Member for Chaguanas and I now call upon him.[Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker: Order!Tarouba Sports ComplexMr. Manohar Ramsaran (Chaguanas): Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.Mr. Singh: This is an abuse of the <strong>Parliament</strong>. One day for you; one day forme, you know! It is all right! [Crosstalk]Mr. Ramnath: The man stopped me in the middle of a sentence, you know![Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker: No, please! Hon Members, I think the Member for Chaguanasis raring to go and you all are interfering with him. Please!Mr. M. Ramsaran: Mr. Speaker, I am not really raring to go concerning thepresent circumstance—[Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker: Order! Order!Mr. M. Ramsaran: I would like to join my Chief Whip in condemning thisaction. [Crosstalk]


800Tarouba Sports Complex <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>Mrs. Robinson-Regis: Well sit down!Mrs. Persad-Bissessar: No, you have already moved the adjournment! Itdoes not work like that! [Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker: Order, please!Mr. M. Ramsaran: Mr. Speaker, the public debate continues regarding theerection of an $850 million stadium in Trinidad and Tobago at Tarouba, to beprecise.I have here some of the public debates that are taking place and I want toquickly touch on a couple of them. This is by Damian Gordon of Malvern SportsClub, he said:“Hospitals are in desperate need of equipment, of having equipment thatwas state-of-the-art not long ago refurbished. There is even a need for simplethings like beds and linens, like drugs so that prescriptions can be filled forpatients who may not be able to afford private pharmacists.”Mr. Speaker, if you look at the entire newspapers of the day you will noticewhat is taking place. This article is by Andy Roberts who was recently theAdvisor to the Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, he had this to say:“Recurrent expenditure or operational cost will run into millions of dollarsa month with little or no revenue generation from the facility itself.Agricultural Caroni, a perennial drain on the national treasury, will now bereplaced with a sporting Caroni of the same ilk. Come on now MinisterBoynes and Butcher, do not try to sell ice on Eskimo. Sport is my life, thoughI definitely do not know it at all, I am certain that a magnificent over-pricedfacility does not create world-class athletes.”Mr. Speaker, the Government has under its watch, stadia, indoor sportsfacilities, the Hockey Centre at Tacarigua. I have been told that one Hockeycentre in Trinidad and Tobago, which was opened by the UNC in 1997, cannot bemaintained properly. Why does this Government so blatantly disregard the<strong>Parliament</strong> when announcing such a large expenditure? I repeat: Why does thisGovernment so blatantly disregard this <strong>Parliament</strong> when announcing such a largeexpenditure?Mr. Speaker, you are in charge of this <strong>Parliament</strong>, or sometimes I think so, atleast. Whose responsibility is it to approve expenditure committed or to be spentby the State? I was very disturbed to hear the announcement that $850 million


801Tarouba Sports Complex <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>will be spent on a new stadium. How was this cost determined? Are these costsguessed or estimated? By whom? Who designed the facilities? Who is thequantity surveyor? Are the designs complete? Is this the final cost? These arequestions I want answered because you cannot take $850 million of the State’sresources and announce it willy-nilly. People must ask questions, and I ask onbehalf of the public of Trinidad and Tobago: How was this figure arrived at?Why are we building this facility? There are views espoused by the PrimeMinister and other Members of the Government. The Prime Minister said that thiswas part of the Brown Paper Bag Package deal. Dr. Lenny Saith—I almost usedthe world “lie” but I would not use it—I quote:“Saith reiterated: it’s not an expenditure that we have taken on just likethat. We have, in fact, committed to the World Cup…”The Brown Paper Bag “et all”.Hon. Member: Not “et all”. It is et al.Mr. M. Ramsaran: Thank you. At least you know how to pronounce somethingbut you do not know what is happening in the country.“We are going to provide the facility and Brian Lara Stadium is required.”Mr. Speaker, I would read a reply on the next day by the cricketing board andI put this on record to show the blatant untruths that were told to this country bythe hon. Prime Minister and senior Minister Lenny Saith. [Desk thumping] This isby Ellis Lewis.Hon. Member: Who is he?Mr. M. Ramsaran: He is the President of the Trinidad and Tobago CricketBoard, second to Alloy Lequay. I quote:“The Tarouba sporting complex which will house the Brian LaraStadium, to be built in time for the 2007 Cricket World Cup (CWC), was not aspecific requirement for the Trinidad and Tobago’s bid World-Cup package,but rather an initiative of the Government.That was the consensus of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) for2007 CWC.Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (T&TCB) president Ellis Lewis, amember of the committee, explained that the requirement for the matches tobe played in T&T was for a ground with sufficient facilities to host warm-upmatches.


802Tarouba Sports Complex <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[MR. RAMSARAN]‘What is necessary is a venue for warm-up matches,’…‘Other grounds could have been chosen for warm-up matches,…’”Here we have this Government, the Prime Minister and a senior Minister, Dr.Lenny Saith, telling untruths to the people of Trinidad and Tobago.Mr. Speaker, I would welcome the expenditure of $850 million to deal withthe sporting public of Trinidad and Tobago. But is it to fight crime, as the PrimeMinister touted? But then, the Prime Minister also said crime is temporary. Ifcrime is temporary how could you build a $850 million stadium to fight crime? Itjust does not add up. The public is speaking and quite rightly so. The public isasking for the moneys to be spent on areas of national security: building policestations; buying vehicles; generally assisting the police in crime-solving areas andas you know, Mr. Speaker, the country is overrun with crimes and terrorists acts. Iquote Minister Lenny Saith once more, who knows about spending Government’smoney, he said:“Money is no problem. The $850 million would not affect the fight againstcrime.”Let us accept that the money would be allocated to the Ministry of Sport andYouth Affairs. I would welcome that; with the myriad of problems facing ouryouths. Mr. Speaker, let us spend the money on sport in the communities. Allgrounds in the country owned or operated by Government, including the Ministryof Sport and Youth Affairs, the Ministry of Local Government or any otheragency, must be upgraded to enable our sportsmen and sportswomen to beencouraged to participate in sport. Of course, this would cost just a couple milliondollars. We must assist existing clubs: cricket and football and others byproviding assistance regarding their general administration. Again, this shouldcost just a couple million dollars.Sport must be taken seriously in primary schools. This year primary schoolstudents had to travel from Sangre Grande to Couva to play cricket matches. I wasthere and I saw what took place. Secondary school cricket should also be playedon proper surfaces. Only one cricket match could be played on a ground at a time.During the cricket season we have several cricket matches played across Trinidadand Tobago. I am recommending that all grounds should be upgraded to a goodstandard to encourage proper playing of games. This is not a reactive reply to the$850 million stadium. I quote from the United National Congress Manifesto2002:“The UNC government sees sport as a major vehicle in empowering ournation.


803Tarouba Sports Complex <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>The UNC administration will further develop sports in all schools.Primary Schools will be the cradle for Sports. In addition to schools, thecommunity based clubs and teams will be encouraged to organize sports inmany disciplines as possible. National Sporting Organizations will beinvited to work with government to organize Sustainable DevelopmentStrategies.A UNC Government will continue its upgrade of communityrecreational facilities throughout the country. To encourage cricket, yourUNC government will set up dedicated cricket facilities, strengtheningclubs by assisting in building turf pitches, practice nets, dressing rooms,etc.The UNC will continue to support the Cricket Academy to which$2 million was given as a grant by the UNC.The UNC Government opened the Orange Grove Hockey Turf in1997 and plans three additional artificial turfs in the north westernpeninsula, San Fernando and Tobago.The UNC government will construct a modern 250 meter concretevelodrome.Boxing which was given a boost with the UNC’s hiring of Cubancoaches will continue to benefit from a UNC government. All indoorboxing facilities will be outfitted with specialized equipment. UNC willpromote Trinidad and Tobago as a major venue for world class boxing.”Mr. Speaker, I urge the Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs not to be connedby the hon. Prime Minister. Let us spend these dollars to hire coaches, use the fivestadia: upkeep them, improve them; build the two swimming pools, one in Port ofSpain and one in San Fernando and this $850 million properly spent on humandevelopment and physical infrastructure across Trinidad and Tobago, wouldcreate a population ready for world-class status.Thank you very much.The Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs (Hon. Roger Boynes): Mr.Speaker, this is the very reason we on this side have promised the nation that wecan deliver and we can ensure that we make this nation a First World nation on orbefore 2020. We are intent on doing that in an organized and professional manner;[Desk thumping] not in a vaps, ad hoc manner, like what I am hearing fromMembers on the other side.


804Tarouba Sports Complex <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[HON. R. BOYNES]How did we come about all of our plans and programmes for sport in Trinidadand Tobago? It is as a result of a holistic approach, and consultation with everysporting organization in Trinidad and Tobago. When we first took office in thisnation in 2001; in January of 2002 all of the national sporting organizations cameto us and said that they would like us to do things: to ensure we implement the taxrebate and ensure that the national sports policy is approved. We did two of thosethings. We approved the national sports policy.Mr. Speaker, what does the national sports policy speak to? The nationalsports policy speaks to total participation in sport for all of Trinidad and Tobago,focusing on high performance sport. The national sports policy also dictates thatin order to focus on total participation on sport—sport for all—we must ensurethat we have facilities throughout the length and breadth of the communitiesupgraded. We also have recreation programmes throughout the length and breadthof the country. In terms of high performance sport, we make sure that we have thefacilities for high performance sport and that we have development coachingprogramme for high performance sport.This national sports policy is here after 20 years of consultation. What istaking place now is that we as the Government have decided, side by side withtotal performance sport we are focusing on high performance sport. That is whythis Government has made sure that we work with the Ministry of LocalGovernment. We are going to upgrade recreation grounds and sporting facilitiesthroughout the length and breadth of this country.Side by side with that, Mr. Speaker, we are ensuring that we have recreationsporting programmes throughout the length and breadth of this country. We arefocusing on high performance sport and we have to make sure that we aredeveloping coaching programmes throughout the length and breadth of thiscountry. To that end, this Government has approved $85 million to the NationalSports Company of Trinidad and Tobago to develop coaching programmesthroughout this country in communities and schools. This would commencewithin a matter of weeks. The primary school programmes have already begunand coaching programmes are going to start throughout this country in a matter ofweeks.Mr. Speaker, we are dealing with the community facilities but how do we thendevelop our other facilities? This Government has approved approximately sixregional sporting complexes throughout this country. We expect to turn the sodwithin a period of about two months. We are also working, according to thebrother in Princes Town, with Yoland Pompey Park Recreation Ground.


805Tarouba Sports Complex <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[Interruption] You know that! We recently gave $1 million to Nipdec in yourpresence; you were there to be part and parcel to the presentation for yourparticular area. We have had presentations by all and sundry. Mr. SurujRambachan came to the office of the Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs andasked for a regional complex in Chaguanas and he will get it! I think my friendfrom Chaguanas is annoyed about Suruj Rambachan because he feels that hewould take his seat. That is why he is making a problem with that.Mr. Speaker, with respect to dealing with high performance sport, it is thisGovernment’s intention to be able to, not only focus on communities but toprovide an avenue for our young children. When we develop them incommunities we want to ensure that we could take them to the next level in sport.We want to train them in a magnet school at Tarouba; in a magnet school in thesport academy so that they can be the best in the world! [Desk thumping] So theyoung Ato Boldens, the young Brian Laras, the young Bovells would no longerhave to go abroad and train! They would train right here in Trinidad and Tobago!On top of that, Mr. Speaker, we would be in a position to have our Caribbeansport academy here so that the West Indies teams could train right here! [Deskthumping] Mr. Speaker, we ruled cricket for 15 years in the world and the othercountries went back to basics. They studied the West Indies and went back andmade sure they had their sporting academies. That is what they did! That is why,Mr. Speaker, today we are catching our tails in trying to beat some of these teams.That is why we are suggesting that we need to have a facility of this nature thatcould take our sportsmen—A young boy from Caroni East could have a dream tobe the best in the world. He could simply go to the Caribbean sport academy inTrinidad and Tobago and materialize that dream. [Desk thumping]Mrs. Robinson-Regis: A young boy from Maloney too!Hon. R. Boynes: And the young boy in Maloney; the young girl in Toco, allover the length and breadth of this country.I have listened to the Member for Chaguanas. He talked about one stadium for$850 million. One! You talk about untruth, Mr. Speaker! What is happening isthat it is a series of facilities! It is about eight or nine facilities that speak tocricket in the first phase. The Brian Lara Stadium, the building of which is goingto be focused on training and providing the type of technology that the WestIndies and other cricketers would be able to come to Trinidad and Tobago and bethe best that they could be! That is the point!


806Tarouba Sports Complex <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>[HON. R. BOYNES]We have facilities that speak to cycling and hockey. The Brian Lara Stadium,Mr. Speaker, that is $275 million! When you make a comparative analysis to therest of the region, it is on target! Barbados is spending about $283 million;Jamaica about $293 million; the Brian Lara Stadium is $275 million and on top ofthat we are focusing on training. The legacy would be training in honour of BrianCharles Lara. [Desk thumping] A commitment this Government gave to thepeople of Trinidad and Tobago and to Brian Lara!Let me also say in that complex the Government understood the need, comingout of the basis of a sport policy, that all sporting organizations understand thatwe must have a vision; that we must have an academy to take us to be the best inthe world. This Government approved the construction of the Brian Lara Stadiumfor $275 million and it also approved a conceptual master plan for the Caribbeansport academy, which would take place on a phased basis over the next few years;not like how the Member for Chaguanas jumped on a platform and told everyone:“It is going to be built tomorrow for $850 million! Misleading the public ofTrinidad and Tobago! [Interruption]Mr. Speaker: Order!Hon. R. Boynes: Mr. Speaker, let me also say the manner in which thisfacility would be built. UDeCott has been given the mandate to do all the work asit relates to the construction of this particular facility. What they did was to ensurethat they hired the expertise and to look at facilities throughout Trinidad andTobago. They came up with that particular site and they said that was the bestplace to put the sporting academy. The experts gave us that information!Mr. Speaker, it is important that in order to ensure transparency and to keepcost down, UDeCott has also decided that they are going to use a fixed pricecontract structure to deal—contractors do not like that, you know! But that is whatthey are using in this particular case.Mr. Hinds: They should have used that in the airport!Hon. R. Boynes: I heard my friend from Chaguanas say that we should usethe five stadia. Of the five stadia, none is cricket.Mr. Speaker, when you look at the four stadia they built, you would realizethat they are football stadia with tracks around them. It is not completed. We needto do the field events. We recently spent a lot of money in Tobago completing thefield events and we are committed to do the other facilities. [Crosstalk] Mr.Speaker, also, our approach is different from theirs. We are going to make sure


807Tarouba Sports Complex <strong>Friday</strong>, <strong>June</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>that we let UDeCott or the National Sports Company of Trinidad and Tobago,which is wholly owned by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago—we givethem the authority to construct these facilities. We are not going to do as they didon that side, you know! They took the country's money and gave it to a privatecompany, breaking the laws of Trinidad and Tobago, to build those four stadia.That is what they did! Mr. Speaker, we have an opinion from the Chief StateSolicitor's Office that said that administration broke the law in building fourstadia in this country! [Crosstalk]Mr. Hinds: Who was the Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs?Hon. R. Boynes: On top of that, they gave an advisoral contract to one oftheir partners for $6 million. Mr. Speaker, he got $6 million to give advice tohimself! [Crosstalk] That is what they did! He gave advice to himself. But you allwould hear more about that! You want commission of enquiry; you would getcommission of enquiry! [Desk thumping] We on this side are doing things theright way. We are following a holistic plan that speaks to the development ofsport in Trinidad and Tobago, from the child to the old person. Sport for all!How much pride do we feel when we have the “Strike Squad” doing well?When we beat Panama two, and even when we lost against Mexico nil, look howmuch pride was engendered in our country because the team played very well!Mr. Speaker, the “Soca Warriors” did very well to date! Mexico beat Brazilone/nil recently! Our teams are inspired because they know that their Governmentis very committed to sport development in Trinidad and Tobago! [Desk thumping]Mr. Speaker, when you see the Jean Pierre Complex and you look at whatsport means to all of us; sport brings this country together! Sport unites thiscountry! Sport is something that we all have to support! Gone are the days whensport never got money! [Desk thumping] Now sport is getting money and it isgetting money in an organized manner! Sport for all! Sport in every community!Sport that will take our country that would restore patriotism, national pride tocommunity, to region and to country! We believe in our sportsmen andsportswomen and we are going to continue to support them!Thank you, Mr. Speaker. [Desk thumping] [Crosstalk]Mr. Speaker: Order! Order!Question put and agreed to.<strong>House</strong> adjourned accordingly.Adjourned at 4.30 p.m.
