Alert Level Restrictions

Opposition Calling for Public Discussion of Alert Level Restrictions

The Opposition Leader says in the face of the province’s success in flattening the curve, that a public debate is needed on determining whether another 28 days are needed in order to pass to the next Alert Level.

The province is moving to Alert Level 3 on Monday, June 8th, but it will be another month before we move to lift even more restrictions.

Ches Crosbie is joining with business leaders and others who are seeking discussion on that approach.

In the meantime, Crosbie is accusing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of dereliction of duty in failing to provide assistance to the province’s oil and gas industry – reeling due to a global downturn.

He says to attract and retain leading exploration companies to do the work needed to ensure a vigorous and strong economy.

He says the message Ottawa is sending right now is “You guys aren’t welcome.”
