Premier: “We need the construction industry to still function”

The below comments were taken from an interview on Friday, March 20, 2020, with Premier Stephen McNeil on The Rick Howe Show.

“We need the construction industry to still function. We need that part of our economy to continue to work, to drive economic development and create employment opportunities for some of our citizens in an industry where you can actually be separate and practice social distancing on the job site. We need that part of our economy to continue to move forward while we work on ensuring that we flatten the curve on this virus here in our province.”
