style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The seminar is being held at the House of Assembly from June 7-8, 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Speaking at the opening ceremony on Wednesday morning, Acting Prime Minister Dr. Irving McIntyre said the session will cover a wide range of matters including media relationships, research methods and resources, equality, diversity, and the importance of public outreach and education.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAll these considerations are important if we have to make use of these interventions on behalf of Dominican people who depend on us to bring their issues to the fore,\u201d Dr. McIntyre said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0He continued, \u201cMy hope is that we all emerge as more effective legislators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0He explained that as parliamentarians, \u201cthe more experienced and those among us who are relatively new to the rule we accept to make useful contributions to the efficient proceedings of the house.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cWe must learn and adhere to rules and ethics and customs governing the workings of this honourable chamber,\u201d Dr. McIntyre stated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0He added, \u201cI am sure that all members of this house agree to give a good account of ourselves and to give effective representation to the people who elected us to serve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Dr. McIntyre said he looks forward to a productive two days of learning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Meantime, Speaker of the House of Assembly Joseph Isaac said the seminar is timely and will provide members with an in-depth understanding of parliamentary procedures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Furthermore, he said the seminar will equip the new and returning Parliamentarians with the necessary skills to scrutinize and give parliamentary oversights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u201cParliament, hope that what you have learnt will be reflected as you undertake your parliamentary duties at the community level and the house debate level,\u201d Isaac stated<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think Parliament is an opportunity where we can have truthful debate, honest debate, well-researched debate,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Isaac wishes all participants a successful parliamentary session.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A two-day
