In a rare display of solidarity, MHAs are unanimously applauding the appointment of two ministers from this province to the federal cabinet.
It’s the first time Newfoundland and Labrador has had such representation in 40 years.
Seamus O’Regan, the former Natural Resources minister, moves to the Labor portfolio. And Gudie Hutchings becomes the minister of Rural Economic Development.
Premier Andrew Furey could barely contain his excitement with the news.
He says by every measure “we’re rural people,” adding it’s the heart and soul of people in this province and across the country.
