Lake Melville Liberal District Association

Congrats to our MHA Perry Trimper!!

Perry Trimper remembers our former Premier

What challenging times we are living in right now. If anyone had of told us that 2020 would not allow us to have an in person AGM, I think it is safe to say none of us would have believed it. We wanted to inform everyone that we had a very successful AGM via conferance call. It was very encouraging to have some new interest in joining the association. At the end of the AGM the new executive was elected as follows:... President: Mark Urquhart Vice President: George Andrews Treasurer: Randy Whitehorne Secretary: Caroline Hong Past President: Henry Windeler Women's Representative: Anna March Burden Senior's Representative: Vacant Youth Representative: Vacant Indigenous Representative: Michelle Baikie Director: Madelyn Kelly Other Directors: Vacant Northwest River/Sheshatshiu Representative: Vacant Churchill Falls Representative: Vacant We still have room for some other positions, as mentioned above. If you are interested in joint our group, let us know.

#deafchildrenmatter - during this campaign and every day!

Today's Update: May 9, 2020

Starting in 2020 there will be even more jobs for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. With over $56 Billion spent to date, and a projected $80 Billion to be spent... over the next 10 Years - the potential in our oil and gas industry is incredible. The Bay du Nord Project will provide significant benefits with an estimated in-province employment of 11,000 jobs. That amounts to 84% of total project employment staying within our province. It’s part of the Liberal Plan for our offshore. Visit http://qoo.ly/xbdfm for details.

Summary of important developments from 27 March 2020: PRIME MINISTER Announced new supports for SMEs (small and medium sized businesses) that include up to 75... % coverage for salaries of employees for qualifying businesses; loans to businesses for up to $40,000 interest free for the first year (first $10,000 is not recoverable under certain conditions). Operational cash flow requirements will be supported through $12.5 billion directed to Economic Development Canada and the Business Development Bank of Canada. Called the Canada Emergency Business account, any loans will be guaranteed by government. Taxes to government in the form of GST or HST are deferred until June. More measures to come to help the vulnerable. Further information on the Canada Emergency Business account will be announced as early as Monday. The Canada Emergency Business benefit is taxable and meant to support the relationship between employer and employee. PROVINCIAL PRESS CONFERENCE 20 new cases for Covid-19 today, bringing the total to 102 in NL, 1 case is in hospital. 56:44 female to male ratio; 1684 have been tested with 1587 negative tests; 95 cases in EH, 2 in CH, I WH and 4 in Labrador-Grenfell Health; 68 cases are linked to Caul's Funeral Home incident.

Contact the Red Cross if looking for assistance during self-isolation 1-800-863-5682. A reminder to those who return from international travel that you have an obligation to self-isolate for 14. Please protect us and our families. Thanked the many heroes out there from truckers, to organizations like the Salvation Army, for the work they are doing. Despite interruptions in postal service, Provincial Government will have cheques out to recipients by 1 April. Encouraged use of the government website information. Resources in the 811 system had challenges so extra staff are on with additional phone lines wired to deal with the calls. Dr Haggie spoke about visual care and using it as a means of care delivery. Time for a callback from a nurse is now down to 9 hours. All paramedics have the proper PPE equipment and that people have to disclose when they phone for help so that first responders can be prepared. Canada has a 6-7% rate of hospitalization for those who have contracted the virus. All long-term care facilities and hospitals have screening on site for visitors and a single point of entry. The fourth case in LGH is travel related and different from the others in this Health Authority. There will be a teleconference with community leaders on Saturday to discuss additional procedures for the Labrador-Quebec border. The premier spoke about providing daycare support for essential government workers, hoping to find a solution. THE DAILY PROVINCIAL BRIEFING WILL OCCUR AT THE REGULAR TIME TODAY 1400 HRS (2 PM) IN LAKE MELVILLE.

The time is now! This is our best hope for delaying the spread and reducing the impact of COVID19.

Newfoundlanders and Labradorians require greatly expanded cell-phone coverage. Your Liberal Government will Replace existing multiple radio systems with a s...ingle, province-wide public safety radio system. Leverage the resulting infrastructure from this critical public safety investment to provide cell-phone coverage across Newfoundland and Labrador. See more

I just went over to check on progress for the Labrador Wellness Centre. This $25.5 Million Project began construction a few days ago. I am very proud of the $11....7 M contribution from the Province...that together with support from the federal and provincial governments, and corporations will mean we can be swimming in the new pool, walking on the track, and dropping off our children at the Centre’s day care by December of next year.
