PHILIPSBURG:--- Firstly we want to congratulate both Ms. Nzinga Lake and Mr. Anastasio Baker for being elected to the board of the St. Maarten Chamber of Commerce. We have confidence that together with the other board members you will do an excellent job for the business community of St. Maarten. The OSPP, as a political party is very much interested in the development of small businesses as these businesses are the backbone of every economy. Small businesses give young people an opportunity to become entrepreneurs; they create jobs and additional revenue for the already strapped coffers of the government of St. Maarten. A special congratulation also goes out to Ms. Giovanella de Weever and Mrs. Raquel Coupland for their interest shown in becoming members of the board of the St. Maarten Chamber of Commerce. We do hope that the chamber organization will invite you to a meeting to share your vision on how to develop and sustain small businesses in St. Maarten. To the Minister of Telecommunication, Mr. Ted Richardson a job well done with the landing of the SSCS fiber cable landing at the Sitcoms beach manhole. We are looking forward to the reduction of the cost of voice and data as stated in your press release. You can imagine that every penny will help in these already difficult time with the cost of living and cost of doing business bursting out of it seam.
