Newfoundland and Labrador NDP Caucus

NDP Education critic Dale Kirby (MHA, St. John’s North) had some pointed questions for the Minister of Education in the House of Assembly today. The first concerned his constituents in Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s.

Beachy Cove Elementary in that town will lose its cafeteria and some use of its gymnasium this September to deal with a shortage of classroom space.

Mr. Speaker,

I rise today to congratulate SABRI –St. Anthony Basin Resources Inc., who honoured me by inviting me to speak at their AGM this year. SABRI is celebrating 15 years of making innovative economic contributions to my district.

Mr. Speaker,

I rise today to salute an organization which does incredibly important work in shattering stereotypes.

MR. SPEAKER: The hon. the Member for St. John’s North.

MR. KIRBY: Mr. Speaker, not surprisingly, the word green does not appear anywhere in government’s Outlook: 2020 labour market report. Any forward looking government would have a plan to prepare for a green economy workforce.
