NDP Leader Allison Coffin says it’s time for the government to stop “blindly handing money over to oil and gas companies.”
Coffin says workers in Newfoundland and Labrador need some level of assurance that they can continue to live and work in this province for the foreseeable future.
She questions whether this week’s announcement involving $41.5-million to Husky to keep the West White Rose construction site in Argentia in warm idle through 2021 makes sense.
Coffin says startup of the project is dependent on conditions that are not expressly defined and she questions whether the infusion of government funding is best suited to help people in this province.
