Regarding Fisheries, Tony Wakeham noted Gerry Byrne's past failures, including losing the surf clam quota from the Burin Peninsula and lack of progress on Joint Management, which the Premier has suddenly flip-flopped on.
PC Leader Tony Wakeham said last week's extensive cabinet shuffle was a clear sign of widespread failure, fatigue, poor performance and non-confidence in the current government. In a news release, Wakeham also criticized missed opportunities in Fisheries and Housing. Regarding Fisheries, he noted Gerry Byrne's past failures, including losing the surf clam quota from the Burin Peninsula and lack of progress on Joint Management, which the Premier has suddenly flip-flopped on. Wakeham pointed out the revolving door of Housing Ministers while the former Comfort Inn remains 80% empty. He says "Almost 200,000 residents do not have a family doctor. Perhaps Minister Hutton will tour the various shuttered healthcare facilities and closed emergency rooms. More photo ops are the last thing people need."
