OECS Authority chairman, Prime Minister Gaston Browne says Antigua and Barbuda could soon be sending residents to Canada for temporary employment.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Browne told the closing of the OECS Heads of government meeting here on Tuesday that while Antigua has not traditionally been part of the programme it has now “signalled its intention to joining the initiative.”<\/p>\n

“Practically all of the OECS states are participating with the exception of Antigua and Barbuda,” he told reporters.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Browne said, “we believe that participation will not only help in terms of earning but there would be a transfer of technology especially within the agricultural sector.”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He is also hoping that “it will give us a larger cadre of agricultural entrepreneurs in order to develop our domestic industry in Antigua and certainly within the wider OECS\u00a0 subregion.”<\/p>\n

The Eastern Caribbean Liaison Service continues to provide easier access to available jobs in the Canadian agricultural and other industries through the Canada-Caribbean Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP) for decades now.<\/p>
