Liberal leader Dwight Ball’s remarks on taking on the leadership:
The Liberal Party has a rich history in Newfoundland and Labrador and I’m proud to be a part of it.
That being said, we have much work ahead. I consider myself a team builder, and I believe teambuilding is what we need right now.
We need to reach out to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians and listen to their hopes and dreams.
I plan on spending a lot of time on the road engaging with the grassroots of our party and encouraging new interest in what we have to offer.
Additionally, we need a debt reduction plan to help rebuild the party As a businessmen, I know the burden that debt can have on an organization and my first priority as Liberal leader will be to get our debt to a manageable level.
I like to call it the common sense approach – reach out, listen and manage debt.
These will be my priorities as I assume the Liberal leadership and help create a credible alternative to the current government.
There will be challenges ahead, no doubt. But it is through these challenges that we will realize a better, brighter future for the next generation of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians
