The GATE program is being reviewed and in the meantime government has cut its allocation by 35 million dollars.

Minister of Finance Colm Imbert could give no more details on the future of GATE but he said it is under review.

Minister Imbert was responding to Barataria/San Juan MP Saddam Hosein during the final stages of the Standing Finance Committee Review of the 2021 Budget.

Mr. Hosein wanted to know more.

In 2019 and 2020, the government had allocated 435 million dollars to gate but that figure is now $400 million for 2021.

Minister Imbert said Parliament would get a report on the GATE review soon.
