The Nassau Guardian reported that the newly created 22-member Commission on Trade Liberalisation and Globalisation was introduced on Monday, and told by the Prime Minister that:
'Your task will be to advise the Government on the administrative and institutional framework for the development of an effective response to globalisation and the trade liberalisation process.'
