PC party leader attends the protest in support of fishermen | SaltWire #newsupdate #newfoundlandST. JOHN'S, N.L. — After the first attempt to deliver her 2024 provincial budget was thwarted by protesting fish harvesters on Wednesday, Finance Minister Siobhan Coady stood in a half-empty legislature Thursday afternoon and delivered a deficit budget.
Tory Leader Tony Wakeham and NDP Leader Jim Dinn said their refusal to hear the budget speech in the legislature was a show of support for everyone who works in the fishing industry. Coady stood to deliver the budget wearing shoes from downtown boutique Soul Studio and a new dress from high-end local fashion designer Sooley Designs, whose dresses typically sell for at least $300.
The budget documents included news that the Newfoundland and Labrador Housing Corp. will be integrated into core government. After listening to Finance Minister Siobhan Coady deliver the budget speech on live video at the Alt Hotel, Progressive Conservative Leader Tony Wakeham speaks to reporters in a small meeting room at the hotel. -Juanita Mercer/SaltWireThis year’s budget sees continued record spending on health care totalling $4.1 billion, amounting to almost 40 per cent of the budget. This beats last year’s record health-care spending, which was $3.6 billion.
• For mental health, there is more than $1 million to expand the mobile crisis response teams to include Sheshatshiu, Stephenville, Twillingate, New World Island, Burin, Clarenville and Conception Bay North. NDP Leader Jim Dinn speaks to reporters gathered downtown at the Alt Hotel after the budget speech was read in the House of Assembly. -Juanita Mercer/SaltWireDinn described the budget contents as"ho-hum," and the budget speech as a"performative farce."
