Former finance minister Colm Imbert is raising concern with several clauses of the Finance Bill which the House of Representatives will debate on December 5.

At the Opposition’s weekly media briefing at the Opposition Leader’s office on Charles Street, Port of Spain, Imbert noted that government gave parliamentarians less than three days to review the Finance Bill 2025 and prepare for the debate.

“When I looked at the legislation, it's 44-pages-long. It's very, very unusual to give parliamentarians just a couple days’ notice for a complex piece of legislation.”
