“Mr. Speaker, Port aux Basques and Argentia ferries are critical to Newfoundland’s economy. They supply our food, medication and everything else. However, the union’s agreement ended in December. The unions have been fighting for a deal ever since. This Prime Minister was elected on the premise that he was supposed to be a great negotiator, the one to go against Trump, the saviour in the Trump negotiations, and yet we are 17 days away from a strike. Is it that the Prime Minister is not able to make a deal or that he refuses to make it a priority?”
