Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar says Trinidad and Tobago’s move to replace the London-based Privy Council with the Caribbean Court of Justice as the island’s final court “is a matter that ought to be put to a referendum in the appropriate time”.
“CCJ is a matter that ought to be decided by the people. As far as the constitutional reform is concerned, the issue of a referendum is part of the package. This is a matter that ought to be put to a referendum at the appropriate time.
“Yes, in law we do not have any provision for a referendum. But when we had the Constitutional Reform Commission this was one of their recommendations. And such matters will be taken on board,” she added.

The level of governance in Trinidad is far superior that in Jamaica, so we may want to reconsider our position Madame Prime Minister.
Yet you have organizations here in Jamaica criticizing the JLP for asking for a referendum on the CCJ.
