The Newfoundland and Labrador government was on the defensive Monday as Progressive Conservative and NDP MHAs criticized its cost of living relief measures as too little, too late.
The provincial government is introducing a series of financial measures that it says will ease pain at the gas pump and put money in the pockets of residents.
As fuel prices continue to sit at a record high, Premier Andrew Furey says his government is entertaining any potential measures to help deal with the rising cost of living while the opposition is ready to hold him to that.
Newfoundland and Labrador's Finance Minister says the rising cost of living presents a difficult challenge for province facing an over $350 million deficit in 2022, but says initiatives put in place during the Spring budget are putting money back in the pockets of residents
