LeBlanc said Furey, who was sworn in as premier Wednesday, made a strong case during their meeting for federal support for the oil and gas sector and its workers. He said Ottawa would have “very specific things to say” for the sector in the coming weeks.
“We have a dynamic, articulate, aggressive, effective new premier in Newfoundland and Labrador,“ LeBlanc said. “Our government is very excited about working collaboratively with him. Big, bold ideas are what should inspire the relationship between our two governments.”
