The Gozo NGOs Association has congratulated Dr Justyne Caruana on her role as Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee for Gozo Affairs.

The Association in a statement, said that it is looking forward to an invitation to a meeting of the Committee in order to present a “holistic view of the highly active Gozitan voluntary and non-governmental organisations sector. ”

Other Committee members are, Minister for Gozo Clint Camilleri, the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Animal Rights Anton Refalo, Chris Said and Kevin Cutajar from the Opposition.

The Association said that it is certain that the five Committee members “will do their best to ensure a better future for Gozo and its residents.”

“The voluntary sector in Gozo, through the tireless, and largely unremunerated, personal effort put in by the hundreds of volunteers active in this sector, has in the past contributed a lot where it comes to Gozo’s economic, social, cultural and philanthropical development,” the Association said.

The second meeting of the Committee took place this evening and Dr Caruana said discussions covered Gozo Channel, the interest of Gozitans who work in Malta, and to create more work in Gozo for Gozitans.

Dr Caruana has invited the general public to submit any suggestions and proposals in order to have a voice and participate actively in the course and discussion within the Committee.

Anyone wishing to contact or put forward any suggestions to the Standing Committee for Gozo Affairs is asked to please send an email on gozo-affairs.committee@parlament.mt or phone 25596352.
