The Con­fed­er­a­tion of Re­gion­al Busi­ness Cham­bers (CR­BC) is ready to col­lab­o­rate on the Gov­ern­ment’s plan to over­see the re­open­ing of the Pointe-a-Pierre re­fin­ery, but their ex­act role re­mains un­clear.

This was the word from the con­fed­er­a­tion’s co­or­di­na­tor Jaishi­ma Lelad­hars­ingh yes­ter­day, in the wake of Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar’s rev­e­la­tion that Gov­ern­ment would set up a com­mit­tee to as­sess and man­age the process of restart­ing the re­fin­ery.

“We had an ini­tial agree­ment to col­lab­o­rate (with labour rep­re­sen­ta­tives), but there have been no fur­ther con­ver­sa­tions since then,” Lelad­hars­ingh told Guardian Me­dia.
