2024-25 Newfoundland and Labrador budget presentation postponed due to fish harvester protest and police clashes.
Newfoundland and Labrador's budget presentation was postponed after hundreds of fish harvesters blocked the legislature, leading to clashes with police. The protesters claim the province's fishery is over-regulated and that established processors and buyers are acting like a cartel, pushing down prices. The Finance Department cites "an unsafe environment" at the legislature as the reason for postponing the 2024-25 budget.
