Another major issue on the front burner includes the participation of Cuba however, Cuba's Foreign Minister Roberto Robaina addresses this matter. In St. Vincent, defeat for the Opposition's no confidence motion in the government but the party has pledged to keep up its campaign for the removal of Attorney General Parnell Campbell. Prime Minister James Mitchell spoke to the House at the end of the debate. Jamaica's Finance Minister Omar Davies announced measures to shore up the island's troubled currency. Bermuda's future hangs in the balance as voters cast their ballots in a referendum on independence.
