OPPOSITION LEADER DEMANDS FINAL WORD IN PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE CLIP X 1

Opposition Leader Allen Chastanet is refusing to follow the government’s mandated budget timeline. In recent memory, the Opposition Leader delivers a rebuttal immediately following the Prime Minister’s address, but Chastanet has signaled he will choose his own moment to speak during next week’s session. While the administration in the past labelled the move a breach of protocol, Chastanet maintains that speaking early allows the government to sidestep his critiques instead of defending their fiscal policies.
