Worker support called for Dave Mercer, local president of the Unifor union, also hopes the government will commit to supporting the industry in his Speech from the Throne, but adds that a potential aid program must give priority to workers. Some 20,000 jobs depend on the oil sector in Newfoundland and Labrador,he says. I would like to see these tax incentives for our companies, but we have to make sure that people go back to work accordingly. Mercer also points out that oil workers have been waiting for months for government assistance. The provincial government, whose revenues continue to fall, has already repeatedly said that it does not have the means to support the industry and that the support required will have to come from Ottawa. I sincerely believe that Seamus O'Regan [the federal Minister of Natural Resources] is concerned about the future of Newfoundland and will do something to help us. "If he doesn't do anything and Mr. Trudeau does nothing, I think their honeymoon is over here,"he says.
