A Bill to give effect to the Agreement establishing the Eastern Caribbean Citizenship by Investment Regulatory Authority (ECCIRA will be presented to Parliament when the House of Assembly convenes on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
This follows Dominica’s signing of the ECCIRA Agreement last month — a major step toward enhancing the integrity, transparency, and long-term sustainability of Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programmes across the region.
Also on the Order Paper is the Bill to establish the Sperm Whale Reserve and provide for its management. This legislation builds on Government’s 2023 decision to designate a protected marine area along Dominica’s west coast, home to one of the few known resident populations of sperm whales in the world.
The proposed Act outlines a comprehensive management framework for the reserve, including defined navigation protocols and monitoring mechanisms to promote responsible use and conservation of the area.
In addition, Parliament will consider amendments to the Financial Services Unit Act, the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism Act, and the Money Laundering Act.
During the sitting, Prime Minister Honourable Roosevelt Skerrit will move a motion seeking approval to confer the Dominica Award of Honour (D.A.H.), the country’s highest national award, on the late Prime Ministers Roosevelt “Rosie” Douglas and Pierre Charles, in recognition of their contributions to national development.
The proceedings of the House will be broadcast live from 10:00 a.m. via the Government Information Service (GIS) and the Dominica Broadcasting Corporation (DBS Radio).

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
