REPORT
Deputy Gardiner 's amendment is important if we are to help bring together all people in our Island community. This amendment is aimed solely at ensuring maximum inclusiveness by making it clear that the overall remit of the pilot scheme will be to work with the children of all non-English-speaking communities. However, Deputy Gardiner is right to have identified Portuguese, Polish and Romanian as the 3 linguistic communities that should be prioritised in the work of the project, and this amendment is designed to reflect that reality.
As the proposer of this amendment, I will also be supporting Deputy Gardiner 's original amendment to the Government Plan 2020–2023.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications arising from this amendment.
