There are quite a number of issues being discussed at the House of Assembly in St. John’s this week.
Randy Edmunds, our MHA for Torngat Mountains District, is attending the sessions.
He says the biggest discussion is the budget.
Each member of the house gets to comment on this year’s budget.
Edmunds says for us in Labrador, Nunatsiavut, the cancelation of the request for proposal for a new vessel, and the landing fees on our airstrips are the two biggest issues.
One other issue is that the government plans to increase the HST to 15%, which will be difficult for people with fixed income, and the pensioners.
Tune into AtjiKangitut tomorrow when we speak with MHA Edmunds on these issues.
