Page 10

The Constitution Amendment Bill 2025 will not only be inviting athletes “back home” to become citizens, but also doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and academics—tackling Trinidad and Tobago’s “brain drain”, says Sport Minister Phillip Watts. Watts said the bill targets national development, sporting excellence, and regional competitiveness to ensure T&T is not left behind its Caribbean neighbours.

“This is about unlocking hundreds of millions in diaspora investment, strengthening our national identity across generations. This isn’t a gift to foreigners or importing talent. It’s recognition of family—unlocking our own talent,” Minister Watts said.
