As the Minister responsible for policing services in this province, I take your client's concerns very seriously. There are, however, clear lines of separation between the executive branch of government and ongoing police investigations. While I believe your client has rightly brought this issue forward, it is for the police personnel assigned to this investigation to inquire further into its significance, which I am sure they will do. We have every confidence in the abilities of the RCMP with the able oversight of Justice Riche to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation. I encourage you and your client to maintain open lines of communication with the RCMP at all times. Fincerety, Darin T. King, PbD MHA,District of Grand Bank Minister of Justice and Public Safety c: Chief Superintendent Andrew Boland "B' Division RCMP .

Liberals Have a Ball As PC Party Suffers from Post-Williams Hangover Alex Marland, Memorial University of Newfoundland
Canadian Political Science Review Vol.9. No. 3. 2015-2016, 72-98 The 2015 Newfoundland and Labrador Election: Liberals Have a Ball as PC Party Suffers from Post-Williams Hangover Alex Marland, Memorial University of Newfoundland Introduction In 2003, the Progressive Conservative (PC) Party of Newfoundland and Labrador rose to power on the basis of a solid plan, an ideological vision and the populist leadership of Danny Williams. In 2007, the Williams team was returned to government on nearly 70 percent of the vote, winning 44 of 48 seats, one of the most lopsided election outcomes in Canadian provincial history. When Williams resigned in 2010 he tapped his lieutenant Kathy Dunderdale to be premier. Drama and instability ensued, magnified by tumult possible only in smaller polities clinging to vestiges of elitism. As the PC Party crumbled, the Liberal Party climbed back from the precipice. It maintained a healthy lead in public opinion polls from mid-2013, won by- election after by-election, and attracted donors and floor crossers. Heading into the 2015 election, that the Liberals would form a majority government and that Dwight Ball would become the next premier were foregone conclusions. The campaign, other than its outcome, was uneventful and introduced calm after years of political instability. The real challenge for Premier Ball and the Liberals will be delivering the better tomorrow they promised. A Very Bad Year: Two PC Leadership Contests and 3½ Premiers in 2014 The PC Party won 37 of 48 seats in the October 2011 provincial election. It marked the first time in the province’s history a woman led a party to election victory.
