(September 2, 2022, St. John’s) – David Brazil, PC Official Opposition Leader and MHA for Conception Bay East-Bell Island, took time today to acknowledge and thank workers in Newfoundland and Labrador.

“So many workers have stepped up especially over during the past two years under COVID-19, including frontline retail workers, truckers and healthcare professionals. We owe them all a debt of gratitude for their continued contributions to our society and economy.”

Brazil encourages everyone to have a safe Labour Day weekend, which marks the traditional end of summer.

Brazil also took time to congratulate Lana Payne, who is the first female president of Unifor and first person from our province to lead a National Union.

“Ms. Payne continues to be a trail blazer and influential figure on the national stage. We should all be proud of her tireless commitment and wish her every success in her new role.”
