Newfoundland and Labrador NDP Caucus

NDP Housing Critic Gerry Rogers (MHA, St. John's Centre) says it’s good to finally see a study of homelessness across the province. However, she says, the study will miss a large group of people affected by the current housing crisis.

NDP Justice Critic Gerry Rogers (MHA, St. John’s Centre) notes June 15 is the shameful anniversary of the enacting of one of the most regressive pieces of legislation ever passed by any government in the history of the province: Bill 29.

NDP Transportation and Works critic George Murphy (MHA, St. John’s East) says the state of the highways in southern Labrador points to years of neglect by government. Both gravel and paved roads are hazardous to drivers and vehicles, says Murphy, adding that the Labrador roads are among the worst he has seen in the province.

Christopher Mitchelmore, the NDP MHA for The Straits-White Bay North, joined the Grenfell Memorial Consumers’ Co-op today to celebrate 100 years of success. The co-op is the oldest consumer co-operative in Newfoundland and Labrador, and one of the oldest in the country.
