Budget Day got underway Monday, with a scaled down version of the usual fanfare and ceremony that accompanies the event. Members of Senate and the House of Assembly, the Judiciary, Clergy and Diplomatic Corps were present at the Sitting. Governor General - Dame Pearlette Louisy delivered her annual throne speech to a packed room. It was a speech that centred on the impact of the global financial crisis on Saint Lucia and an upbeat message that this country will overcome that burden.
well im sure the governor general was quite releived that she did not have to inspect the guards....i mean why wuld someone want o check if one guard's shirt is whiter than another?
haha i know its tradition people..but maybe now they know that throne speech can be done without...........
