For­mer En­er­gy Min­is­ter Car­olyn Seep­er­sad-Bachan has warned that the coun­try can­not af­ford de­lays, opac­i­ty or con­flict­ing agen­das in the ef­fort to restart the Pointe-à-Pierre re­fin­ery. She says the na­tion must move with ur­gency, guid­ed by a trans­par­ent, cred­i­ble and clear­ly de­fined strat­e­gy to en­sure the re­fin­ery’s vi­a­bil­i­ty.

“The longer we wait, the greater the risk of ir­re­versible de­te­ri­o­ra­tion of crit­i­cal in­fra­struc­ture,” Seep­er­sad-Bachan said yes­ter­day.
