Government Shields Caricom Plans Behind Paperwork

The opposition is furious as the government dodges direct answers about Bermuda’s Caricom membership plans, deflecting questions with a 63-page Green Paper instead of clear explanations. Eleven MPs pressed for details on how full membership could impact business, education, justice, and the environment — only to be told to “read the paper.” The government claims consultation ended in May and a White Paper will follow, promising to outline benefits for Bermudians. But the opposition says the answers are vague, copied, and misleading — especially concerning international business, which fuels the economy and helps pay down the national debt. They demand transparency on risk assessments and why critical information isn’t being shared. With ministries across the board questioned, the core issue remains: the public deserves clarity — not just documents — on a decision that could reshape Bermuda’s future.
