Dominica's Planning Minister Dr Collin McIntyre has come in defence of the Government of Dominica over the attitude of the opposition, in what he alleges to be efforts to malign the office of the Prime Minister and the country he leads. McIntyre has taken a swipe at the Opposition for using "low & dirty politics" to try to sway the minds of the people of Dominica, locally and otherwise, into believing that Prime Minister Skerrit is not working in the best interest of the nation. Mc Intyre claims that the opposition believes in calling all persons living in the Diaspora to come back home, but that some Dominicans abroad don't seem to buy into the opposition's request. He says Dominicans living abroad don't believe that coming home to a Hurricane Ravaged Island is the best thing at this time. Dr McIntyre says the opposition should know better than that. McIntyre says the overwhelming support to Dominica from the donor's conference, and having the PM Skerrit sit next to former US President Bill Clinton at such high-level meetings, is a plus for Dominica, and places it on a larger scale in the world. And on the issue of the Petro Caribe Agreement between Dominica and Venezuela, with the Spanish speaking country forgiving the debt of Dominica of US$100M, Dr McIntyre says there is much to be grateful for, when a small island like Venezuela could cancel Dominica's debt.
