Arguably, Newfoundland and Labrador is at one of the most consequential moments in its history. Among its challenges, the province is the oldest in the country and some of its most important industries are facing an uncertain future. At the same time, there are multiple opportunities for growth including new oil and gas development, mining projects, the use of wind energy to power new industries, tourism, as well as technology-based sectors. Dr. Rob Greenwood, Deputy Minister of Rural and Regional Development and Engagement, and Chief Economic Development Officer for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador joins Don and David this week to talk about NL Futures, an initiative meant to ensure the province can prosper in the years ahead. NL Futures has three main themes: labour market, productivity and boosting rural economic development capacity. Greenwood makes a strong case the province’s best days lie ahead.
