After extended
medical leave, the Honourable Danny Williams, Premier of Newfoundland
and Labrador, today resumed official duties. The Premier thanked Deputy
Premier Kathy Dunderdale for her work as Acting Premier in his absence.
�I want to thank
Minister Dunderdale for the outstanding job she performed while I was
away, in particular as it was in addition to her existing work as
Minister of Natural Resources,� said Premier Williams. �It was a great
comfort to know the province was left in such capable hands, and I thank
not only her but my entire cabinet and caucus for their hard work and
unwavering support over the past number of weeks. Now, I look forward
to getting back full time working for the people of the province.�
The Premier also
thanked everyone for their support and well wishes before and after his
surgery.
�I was completely
overwhelmed and touched by the incredible outpouring of support and
prayers during this time,� added the Premier. �I wish to sincerely
thank each and every individual who took the time to write or call my
office, and for the many expressions of well wishes that were passed
along.�
