 Let me just firstly say, St. Lucia have 185,000 people to choose from, so tall, so tall. They stood toe-to-toe against a nation of 6.8 million people against Nicaragua. And I want to go on record as saying it took a referee and all of them to defeat us. And so, while I am gutted by what actually happened on the field, and obviously anybody who watched the game believed that St. Lucia should have been afforded a better opportunity to win that game, I am externally, eternally in every way imaginable proud of St. Lucia and what they did at the regional tournament. I think our programs are yielding some good fruit. I want to say special congratulations to the parents of these footballers, because without them we would not have seen what we just saw in this regional tournament. The coaches and of course the St. Lucia Football Association, all the efforts. And we cannot forget the administrators, because when we are dealing with youth football, administrators are perhaps the most critical persons to ensure that the club structure is functioning the way it is supposed to be, to ensure that the hydration, the nutrition, the bus system for all these young people are taken into consideration. And so, I want to ensure that everybody understands that this is a total national effort to get to where we get into in sport. And I just want to say congratulations to all and sundry. Mr. Essan, how CPL staff in this group and Premier League, just as your thoughts, your sentiments going in on the prospects that it brings for sports tourism? For the first time in CPL history, the games will be started in St. Lucia. Of course, they finally understood that the most beautiful nation should get the first dibs. And so we expect in an absolute bumper crowd on Wednesday to start off the competition. We have worked assiduously to ensure that Darren Sammy Stadium continues to be one of the best in the region and indeed the world. And I think in terms of the investment this government has put into the infrastructure, I think you will see people impressed with the venue, impressed with the actual layout of the place and most importantly impressed with the field, the pitch. We know that St. Lucia continues to have one of the best custodians in the region, Ken Crafton. And he and his team, they continue to do an immaculate job at that venue. So we expect in St. Lucia Kings to reign supreme this time around. I know we've said that for the last six years, but we certainly hoping that this year we can certainly take it home. What about the cost? You said about the cost then and I think, how much is the amount you're putting into such an event? I don't have the exact figure, but the work at Darren Sammy is a monthly work. Like I clarified last time, we hired somebody to supervise works in and around the playing field, the maintenance manager. Because we really thought that the maintenance of Darren Sammy was just when we came in, not sufficient. And so we've been dealing with issues on a monthly basis. We said early when we inherited Darren Sammy, we had more than 100 leaks at the venue. And so we've been working every month to ensure that we identify exactly where they were. And we've done a lot of work in terms of the roofing of the Darren Sammy. The sea blast is another thing we had to take into consideration given the proximity of Darren Sammy to Kazabah Beach. And we've done a lot in terms of dealing with the rust around the venue. And so we continue through SSI and NLA on a monthly basis, investing in the upliftment of Darren Sammy stadium. Some people would like it at this time. You're not loud enough, of course. Some people would like it at this time, spending so much money for work, for games, for CDs and so on. Rubbish, rubbish, absolute rubbish. The morning games we expect in India with their billion population to really look into Saint Lucia. Saint Lucia is going to be exposed to the rest of the world. But we know the cricketing population of a nation like India, Europe, South America. A lot of individuals, Saint Lucia will be exposed to all of those nations. And of course, once people see the natural beauty of Saint Lucia on display for the rest of the world, we expect huge economic benefits. It's a huge sports tourism product. And I think whatever amount we put in, I think within a month we'll be able to regroup it anyway. We saw young Saint Lucia cricketers added to the King's team this year. Do you think it follows up this opportunity for them on a large scale? Well, we've seen the likes of McKinney Clark really show up as one of the prospects for Saint Lucia. I want to single him out simply because of the raw talent and peace. As a peace bowler, I was able to capture some of his training sessions on Friday when I visited the stadium. And he looks really good, really good prospect. And of course, we have the other individuals in the camp that will get at least an opportunity to display their talent to the region and the rest of the world. I think that is a tremendous opportunity for them. I think that encourages them every day to wake up in the morning and train hard to put their best foot forward. And we truly expect that this cadre of young, West Indies Saint Lucia cricketers we have will break into the West Indies senior team and continue to perform and put Saint Lucia on the map. And so it's incumbent upon us to have the necessary programs for them. And I've had extensive conversations with the owners of the Saint Lucia Kings for a couple of programs that we will unroll immediately after CPL to keep these individuals that we've identified as being talented in a program that is sustainable that will ensure that they continue to play cricket at a high level. Also, with the 2024 work to be hosted in the Caribbean, what are some of the plans for us? I don't know if we'll announce as a whole venue yet, but what are some of the plans you get? Well, we're certainly hoping an announcement very soon. Saint Lucia did put in a bid to host some of the World Cup matches right here in Saint Lucia to Dan Sammy. We're certainly hoping that we get our fair share of matches. And of course, that's another activity that we can look forward to planning for the entire year for. And so we've seen some roadworks commenced in both issues. Thanks to the parliamentary rep for Grosile. We're hoping that we'll continue to deal with the infrastructural needs of both Israel and surrounding areas for this global event. And we're certainly hoping that once the announcement is made, Saint Lucia is well prepared to welcome the rest of the world. Two more, so Jason and then Reg. Alright, what are the problems facing regional travel at this point? How much of a crisis can we really expect to see Adda Darren Samuel with these games being hosted? Well, recently, the Prime Minister recently attended the Carycom Summit and of course cricket would be on the agenda for discussions. And a lot of efforts have been made to ensure that there is more regional travel during this week and next week, and of course for the duration of the tournament. So we're certainly expecting, with the work of the Ministry of Tourism, that they can perhaps give you some more specifics on the amount of plans that we're expecting. But certainly a lot of negotiations went into ensuring that we have a bumper crowd at Darren Samuel. In football now, we have 6,000 players. The parents couldn't go because of that. In the wilder field of development, it's possible. Do you think that there will be a time when you'll be in a sports agency? Because the Ministry and their own kind of do the association, there will be something of a sports agency to recognize these players, to identify these players, to find some means of mechanism to marketing we have to come into sports. Do you see our sports taking on a wider scale? I think you can go in the direction of a sports agency, but if we as a nation decide to do our part, each of us ask ourselves what we can do to develop sports in St. Lucia. I think that would be in itself an agency. What we've done in terms of football is we've brought on Urbal Auxiliary and Stuart Charles-Riviery as part of our emerging athletes program. So we can take the best of the best from 9 until 15, and we can have them in a program that is as professional as anybody can imagine. The proper nutrition advice, proper psychosocial support in terms of mental strength, emotional building, and of course the physical nature of healthy living for these individuals. And so as a government, we have been providing the different sporting areas with the agencies that we can afford to provide them in terms of the support for the athletes. Under the Elite Athlete Program, you'll see in the likes of Juliana, Michael Joseph, and some of the others, Naomi London, benefiting from having financial support that I didn't have when I was an athlete to get what they need monthly. Sometimes, as you deal with government, it's delayed, but we've made every effort to be athlete-centered in a way that St. Lucia has never seen. In the sport of boxing as well, you've seen a program developed up north and down south. So much so that out of the 20 boxers on the national team, 9 of them came out from the communities such as Bruce Veil and some of those areas that Postal Ins indicated had a crime problem. And so we strategically placed our coaches, our Cuban coach and some of our local coaches, gave them the responsibility of going into the schools, identifying the talent, and bringing them into those programs. So a similar thing in cricket, similar in football, similar in track and field. So I think what we need as a nation is to be more supportive of our athletes. We have CPL this Wednesday, and 9 out of 10 phone calls I get is for free entrance to the Darren family. How are we serious about developing a sport if we don't want to provide at least gate receipts for the development of the sport? We're about to semi-professionalize football, and I'm sure persons are going to be calling the Parliamentary Rep to find out how they can enter into the venue free. But if at the end of the day you don't provide at least a $5 contribution or a $10 contribution towards the gate receipts that we could use to further develop the sport and put it out there for the rest of the world to see, how could you as a St. Lucian take pride when those young individuals achieve something when you've not played your part? We are the agencies, we should think of ourselves as the agencies, and that is how St. Lucia breaks into the global scene in sports. Corporate sports is about how much more? Exactly. So that is what we are talking about. So agencies such as Corporate St. Lucia, they must play a role. And we've seen First National Bank deciding to collaborate with Julian Alfred. We've seen Blue Waters in Times Pass continue to provide sponsorship and KFC continue to provide sponsorship. And these are the banners you see at most sporting disciplines. Sajiko came on to sponsor the Sajiko tournament recently in tennis. And so we do have some corporate sponsors. The problem is these are the same corporate sponsors on rotation. We need other individuals to adopt an athlete and that's one of the programs we're going to be rolling out very soon. We need associations to provide at least four of the best developing athletes who are from a disenfranchised neighbourhood or from a disenfranchised background. And we're going to be writing to Corporate St. Lucia to provide at least $200 or $250 monthly tools that individual athletes so that they can be provided with transportation, a proper meal and of course some other dynamics for them to develop. And so these are the things we at the Ministry of Youth Development and Sports continue to do and encourage to ensure that our athletes continue to develop.
