Opposition Leader Gerry Reid announced today that the Liberal Opposition
Caucus will be holding meetings on the Great Northern Peninsula from
Tuesday, June 27th to Thursday, June 29th.
"Similar to our recent meetings on the Burin Peninsula, we look forward
to visiting communities and discussing issues with people living on the
Great Northern Peninsula," said Mr. Reid. "There are many problems facing
this region of our province including a declining fishery, outmigration, and
unemployment. By meeting directly with the people, we hope to gain a better
understanding of their issues and concerns."
Reid noted that the caucus will be holding meetings with various
community groups, associations and town councils during the three day caucus
and is hopeful that the discussions will be productive, informative and
constructive for everyone involved.
