The provincial-federal body that regulates Newfoundland and Labrador's offshore oil and gas industry will be renamed and have its mandate expanded to include renewable energy such as wind and hydrogen.
While the province prepares to drop all COVID-19 protocols, such as capacity limits, physical distancing and mandatory masks, some places plan on keeping mask rules in place.
Public Health plans to lift COVID-19 restrictions in Newfoundland and Labrador in two weeks. But some public institutions may still require masks when the mandate lifts, and a medical school professor says masks are still valuable to protect vulnerable people.
