OPENING ADDRESS DELIVERED BY HON. BALDWIN SPENCER, PRIME MINISTER, ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA, AT THE SEVENTEENTH MEETING OF THE BUREAU OF HEADS OF GOVERNMENT OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY, 4-5 MAY 2004, ST. JOHN’S, ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA (Edited version)

Conscious of their manifest potency, the Antiguan and Barbudan people are quite likely to set about devising means of seeking my immediate impeachment should I fail to begin my remarks with the affirmation which is now virtually mandatory in Antigua and Barbuda; on all occasions, and at every level.

It is thus my duty, on behalf of the Antiguan and Barbudan people, to open this meeting with the sentiment that seemingly all in our country share and are anxious to proclaim to the world.

Welcome to Government in the Sunshine!
