ST. JOHN'S, N.L. — Newfoundland and Labrador’s finance minister released her 2024-25 budget Thursday, after sleeping at the legislature the night before following a chaotic demonstration by fish harvesters that had prevented officials from entering the building.
“We’re very near balanced,” Coady told reporters, adding that the missed deadline to be in the black was largely due to “affordability measures” her government introduced amid high inflation. Coady said she arrived at the legislature at about 8 p.m. Wednesday, after a raucous protest earlier that day had dispersed. During the protest Wednesday, two Royal Newfoundland Constabulary officers rode horses into the crowd of angry fish harvesters who had blocked government officials from entering the building.A judge awarded the province an injunction against the demonstrators on Wednesday afternoon, forbidding them from blocking anyone from entering the building.
