(February 11, 2022) – Barry Petten, PC Official Opposition House Leader and MHA for Conception Bay South, today issued a letter to Speaker Derek Bennett and all MHAs to reconvene the House of Assembly for an emergency debate regarding the future of the Bay du Nord project.

“The people of our province deserve a full understanding of the future of the Bay du Nord project and its impact on the economy of Newfoundland and Labrador. All MHAs must stand united, calling on Ottawa to support the project and the people who rely on the industry in our province,” said Petten.

“The debate is meant to show a united front in our legislature so we can all send a message to Ottawa that decision affecting the future of our province need to be made with Newfoundland and Labrador at the table.”

The letter to Speaker Bennett is attached.
