Statement by Premier King on resignation of Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dwight Ball

Premier Dennis King issued the following statement on the resignation of Premier Dwight Ball: 

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Premier Ball over the past number of months. As a member of the Council of Atlantic Premiers and Council of the Federation, his leadership and collaborative nature have fostered meaningful progress on priorities important to Atlantic Canadians and Canadians alike, including health care, energy and regional economic growth.  

Above all else, he is a proud Newfoundland and Labradorian and a proud Canadian with an unwavering passion for his province. He has been a great friend to Prince Edward Island, and I wish him and his family all the best.”
