New premier says he's focused on adaptable back-to-school plan and economic diversification
EXCERPTS
In his first full day as premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, Andrew Furey said he is continuing to learn while reiterating some of the promises that won him the Liberal leadership.
When you take on a job like the premiership, Furey said Thursday, there are always some surprises.
"When you get to see what's laid out in front of you by the great public service here, 'surprise' may be a strong word. But there's new intelligence that you have to use to base your decisions moving forward."
