The Newfoundland and Labrador government has refused to disclose COVID-19 modelling that Liberal Leader Andrew Furey said helped justify his decision to call an election during a pandemic.
Kelly Blidook says that shouldn t happen in a democracy. High proportions of uncertainty, regardless of where they are coming from, is a real issue in a properly stable democratic state, Blidook said. We shouldn t be seeing numbers like this.
It s still unknown when the results of the election will be released, but Elections NL says it could take until April.
Blidook said there should be a breathing period after results are released and the province should not take them as meaningful until the report from the chief electoral officer is tabled and legal advice is sought. Use those to kind of figure out if this election is done properly or not. I think that the public s views on this are important to take into account too, he said.
