27th June, 2021 The Secretary, Joint Select Committee Constitution (Amendment) (Tobago Self-Government) Bill 2020 Dear Madam, Re: Constitution (Amendment) (Tobago Self-Government) Bill 2020 We refer to the Minority Report of the Joint Select Committee on the Constitution (Amendment) (Self Government) Bill 2020, written by Members Senator Jearlean John, Members of Parliament, Rudranath Indarsingh and Dinesh Rambally, dated 7th June, 2021 and submitted on the said date.
Regrettably, in an effort to submit the Minority Report in a timely manner, an error was made at footnote 2 which ought to have read as follows: “See Letter dated 17th May, 2021 from the Tobago Lawyers Association written to Ms. Sophia Chote S.C., President of the Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago wherein they stated inter alia that “The unanimous view of our members at the meeting today was that these Bills should be rejected forthwith to effect the meaningful change that Tobagonians have been yearning and deserving to see.”; Instead of See Letter dated 17th May, 2021 from Ms. Sophia Chote S.C., President of the Law Association of Trinidad and Tobago wherein she stated inter alia that “The unanimous view of our members at the meeting today was that these Bills should be rejected forthwith to effect the meaningful change that Tobagonians have been yearning and deserving to see.”; Kindly bring same to the immediate attention of the Chairman and all other Committee Members so that it may be reflected on the record as a correction to our Minority Report.
We also intend to raise it in the Parliament so that the correction will be reflected in the Hansard.

Having regard to the fact that the captioned matter is set to be debated tomorrow morning, we ask that this soft copy be accepted, pending the delivery at the Parliament, at the soonest, of the signed copy by Members John, Indarsingh and Rambally.

All members of the said JSC are copied in the same email by which this letter is being sent to you.

Thank you for your kind assistance.
