Jim Bennett, Leader of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador,
announced today that the Provincial Liberal Caucus will be meeting in
Stephenville on Tuesday, April 18th and Wednesday, April 19th,
to discuss provincial issues, especially those affecting the Bay St. George
region. "Next week’s meeting will provide our caucus with the opportunity to discuss strategy and issues directly affecting Newfoundlanders and Labradorians," said Mr. Bennett. "We chose Stephenville for this meeting because of the many issues facing that region of our province. Abitibi recently shut down their mill, residents are still encountering compensation problems related to the flood, outmigration is increasing, and service reductions are having a major impact on the needs of this region, especially health care. Stephenville is symbolic of the problems that are being experienced by many communities in this province as a result of this government’s policies. "Next week we will be having several meetings with concerned community groups and individuals. We will also be having a meet and greet on Tuesday night at the Holiday Inn for individuals who wish to discuss issues with our caucus. We are hopeful that our meetings will bring new attention to the problems being faced in the Bay St. George region. "I look forward to productive meetings next week. It is important that our caucus visit communities throughout Newfoundland and Labrador, and hear the concerns of residents first hand. Over the coming months, I look forward to other meetings in every region of the province."
