John Hogan, KC, Leader of the Official Opposition is pleased to see Finance Minister Craig Pardy commit up to $1 million from American alcohol sales at Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corporation (NLC) to the Community Food Sharing Association. The Official Opposition was happy to contribute suggestions to this decision. With member food banks across the province, this charitable donation will go a long way to help some of the most vulnerable in our province.
“This is a great first step in redirecting the $3.2 million worth of U.S. inventory at NLC. The $1 million donation is just a fraction of the total value of the product, and I’m encouraging Mr. Pardy to donate the remaining $2.2 million to other local charities such as the Salvation Army Kettle Drive and MADD.”
