A great way to end the week with a meeting discussing the need for a public dental care program with Coalition for Dentalcare founder Dr. Brandon Doucet. The M-62 dentalcare motion will be coming to the House of Commons in early May. #dentalcareforall #OralHealthMonth

Thank you Erin Winsor & Claire Rouleau of Old School Intergenerational Projects. Very pleased to be a part of this important announcement to help address social isolation that #seniors experience. Will be an exciting experience.

I was very pleased to participate in the Old School Intergenerational Projects announcement this morning with Erin Winsor & Claire Rouleau. They received funding through the Government of Canada’s New Horizons for Seniors Program for a project that will allow seniors in St. John's East to stay connected and be involved in their communities. This exciting project will also be moving across the province so stay tuned for their activities. Seniors in Canada #seniors

AC #YYT to #YYZ flight loss is particularly hard on rotational & essential workers & their families. It is vital to the province’s economic health. The Liberal government should work towards a quick as possible reinstatement of this 60 year old essential service. https://jackharris.ndp.ca//new-democrats-call-government-s

I've been calling on the federal government to revamp and upgrade the fiscal stabilization program to deal with Newfoundland and Labrador's huge loss of revenue, due to the collapse of oil prices and lack of demand. They have failed to do so - hurting Newfoundland and Labrador, Alberta and Saskatchewan. Here is the statement that I made in the House today:
