This is my beautiful, brilliant wife Dr. Allison Furey. She’s been working in the COVID Assessment Unit, so got her COVID-19 vaccine today. Every day, she sets an example to be proud of — and I am who I am thanks to her love and support.

Great call with
@CanadianPM
@JustinTrudeau
today to discuss Newfoundland and Labrador’s offer to help Ontario at this difficult time, and how the federal government can support our efforts. Being a part of
#TeamCanada
means coming together - that’s the power of this federation.
This afternoon, in response to rapidly rising numbers of COVID-19 cases across Ontario, I reached out to Premiers
@FureyAndrew
,
@DennyKing
, and
@IainTRankin
. We spoke about how we can work together to help Ontarians get through this third wave.

I continue to stand up for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians against the federal carbon tax.
I am now asking Ottawa to pause its planned increase to the carbon tax, set for April 1st, as the high cost of living is enough of a burden on families.

Talking to my wife, Allison, just before she starts her day at Toronto General - it means so much to us all that a doctor gets some much-needed rest thanks to her being there. And of course the same goes for the rest of our N.L. team on the COVID-19 frontline.
