Dunderdale: Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Kathy Dunderdale

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Kathy Dunderdale: "There are over-arching issues and policies that need to be addressed at a federal level," Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Kathy Dunderdale told reporters during a news conference Friday afternoon, according to CBC. "It is extremely important that the federal government be involved but they're not at this point in time," Dunderdale said and Canada's premiers and territorial leaders urged the federal government to consult the provinces and territories on changes to programs or policy that affect them, including jobs training and energy, as they wrapped-up their summer gathering at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. The premiers cited changes in labour market agreements and the proposed Canada Job Grant, employment insurance, and raising the age of eligibility for Old Age security as examples of changes the federal government has made without consulting the provinces.
