00:00Thank you for staying with us.
00:03As the government has made decisions which will affect the hosting of carnival events at traditional venues like the Jean Pierre Complex,
00:10here's the Crawford Stadium and the Brian Lauer Cricket Academy.
00:13The opposition today quizzed the Culture Minister Michelle Benjamin on the other venues proposed,
00:18so it's not unduly impacted the National Festival.
00:22Here is her response in the lower house today.
00:24The Government of Trinidad and Tobago is committed to serving all stakeholders in the carnival industry.
00:32The Ministry of Culture and Community Development and the National Carnival Commission
00:37have identified suitable event spaces in the Queen's Park Savannah.
00:42Additionally, Mr. Speaker, we are in consultation with other stakeholders.
00:47The Ministry has identified suitable spaces and our door remains open to each and everyone in the industry
00:56that wishes to meet with us.
00:57As we chart the way forward to the biggest, the brightest, the better, the bigger the bumper Carnival
01:05Trinidad and Tobago has ever seen.
01:08Further questions?
