House of Assembly in October and quickly introduced Dame Moya Greene as the head of an economic recovery team tasked with recommending measures to lead the province out of the fiscal hole its dug itself into.

NL Premier Resumes Campaign After Man With Knives Arrested Outside Election Office
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey resumed the campaign trail Wednesday after a man driving a truck with a “large quantity of various knives” was arrested outside his office building following a police chase.
The Liberal leader was in Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula on Wednesday to resume his campaign as his team recovers from the shock of the possible attack likely targeting the premier.
“This is a traumatic incident, for everyone working and volunteering in Newfoundland and Labrador’s election,” Furey’s campaign said in a statement on Jan. 26. “We have been advised this incident was likely targeted towards Premier Furey.”
