That’s a wrap on the fall sitting of the provincial legislature.
The House of Assembly adjourned last night until the spring, having sat for 14 of 15 scheduled days.
Premier Andrew Furey believes it was a successful session, noting they were able to make what he calls an “incredible” number of legislative changes focusing on affordability, health care, and justice and public safety.
He says they tackles an “aggressive” agenda for the betterment of the province.
PC Leader Tony Wakeham says this session has highlighted a government that has “lost touch with reality.”
To underscore that statement, Wakeham points to his interpretation of how government reacts to people’s healthcare needs. He says there are “serious challenges” with access to healthcare, and they have seen several examples of people beoing left behind.

NDP Leader Jim Dinn points to what he believes are problems with transparency in the latest sitting of the House, and uses questions surrounding the sale of an NL Housing building on Livingstone Street as an example.
Dinn states that “if we’re not getting the straight answers, we’re not going to get the right solutions.”
