The Tory MHA for Placentia West Bellevue wants assurances from Irving about its plans to maintain long-term employment at the Come by Chance oil refinery.
Jeff Dwyer says the news caught a lot by surprise when Irving announced this week that it had reached an agreement with New York-based Silverpeak for purchase of the refinery now operating under North Atlantic Refining.
Come by Chance was idled in late March as a result of the pandemic and global downturn in the oil industry.
Dwyer is calling on Irving to inform the many people in the region who rely on the refinery about their plans for the facility.
