Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, has welcomed to Dominican shores Canada’s High Commissioner to Dominica, Her Excellency Marie Legault, with words of gratitude for the significant contributions from Canada to the Dominican economy.
The two met at the Prime Minister’s office in the Financial Center on Tuesday, March 21st 2017.
He said to the High Commissioner that he is thankful that Canada has invested in Dominica through infrastructure and health care materials.
“Canada built several schools in the early seventies…both primary and secondary schools, and you have been very instrumental in water resource management, we cannot mention water development in Dominica without mentioning Canada and its assistance,” he said.
He said that there are a number of other occasions, particularly in education and health through reform processes, where the government of Canada has given assistance.
He assured the High Commissioner that the good relationship established between Dominica and Canada will continue.
“The environment is a very good one for the strengthening of not only bilateral relations between Dominica and Canada but I dare say between Canada and CARICOM,” Skerrit remarked.
For the past 38 years, Canada has provided economic and technical support to the growth and development of Dominica and this new High Commissioner has pledged to provide even further support.
Dominica established diplomatic relations with Canada in 1978, when Dominica gained its independence.
It’s good to know that the Punjab PhD has finally come to his senses and welcoming assistance from his COLONIAL IMPERIAL masters; ”wha happen your liberators broke now nah”
Canada the soon to be failed state is supporting the failed state of Dominica? lol
Wait until Africans chinese and haitians start syphoning through Dominica to Cananda and you will see how long that relationship lasts
How can this happen when Dominicans require visas to enter Canada. Inform yourself before making idiotic comments.
Skerit,unknowingly you are being interrogated for the big picture. Fly your kite.
Time will tell.
Canada has several projects benefiting victims of Gender Based VIolence in Dominica at present. East Federation, West Federation the Bureau of Gender Affairs and Lifeline Ministries all have projects just finishing. Thanks Canada Fund for local initiatives we are using your funds to benefit victims and to help them to become Survivors and eventually Advocates.
She knows all about you Skerrit- not nice things!!!
@Din-din
The “not nice things” which are said against him are said by his own “not nice people” of Dominica–the World is not interested in “not nice things and not nice people” –that would include Canada.
Nonetheless her people speak “not nice things” against her Prime Minister as well; this practice is an epidemic which has no cure, but is senseless and powerless against it victims. So why stop living because of a senseless and powerless disease, which can only destroy its own possessor?
It seems nothing can happen in Dominica that DNO commentators are not able to use as an excuse to badmouth their P.M., and cast a shadow on his administration. This will not have any bearing on Canada*s relationship with Dominica.
Canada is proud to have made any contribution we were able to make to your nation. This will not be changed by disgruntled people who find it necessary to get their few moments of exposure on DNO. For one thing we know these are not frequent writers. They do not contribute anything but criticism.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill.
