N.L. being treated unfairly under equalizati­on

-

It is high time the federal Liberals under Justin Trudeau reinstate equalizati­on payments to Newfoundla­nd and Labrador.

If Quebec receives $10-billionplu­s in equalizati­on while enjoying a $2-billion surplus, and the federal government gives equalizati­on to other “have-not” provinces like Nova Scotia, P.E.I., New Brunswick, Ontario and Manitoba, Ottawa can do the same with N.L.

Prime Minister Trudeau, Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau, MPS Yvonne Jones, Gudie Hutchings, Churence Rogers, Scott Simms, Ken Mcdonald, Nick Whalen and Seamus O’regan, and all Liberal MHAS: Ottawa can and must reinstate equalizati­on payments now.

Newfoundla­nd and Labrador is now a have-not province!
