JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR (AUGUST 29, 2003) - Chief negotiators for the Labrador Inuit Association (LIA), the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Government of Canada gathered today to initial the Labrador Inuit Land Claim Agreement (the Agreement). This land claims and self-government agreement is the first of its kind in Atlantic Canada. Before coming into effect, the Agreement must be ratified by Labrador Inuit, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Canada. "The initialling of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement is a positive step forward for economic and social development in our province's Aboriginal communities," said Premier Roger Grimes. "It is a great testament to the willingness of the LIA, the Province and the federal government to partner to ensure that we do the right thing for the future of all the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. I am very pleased with the work this administration has done over the past number of years to make today's celebrations possible and pleased to keep another commitment made to the people of this province." "The initialling of the Labrador Inuit Land Claims Agreement today by negotiators for the Inuit of Labrador, the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Government of Canada represents the culmination of a long and difficult process and the dedication and commitment of our negotiators in achieving agreement and compromise on hard-fought issues," said Labrador Inuit Association President William Andersen III. "Today's achievement assures us that understanding between distinct cultures is possible and that mutual respect and cooperation are attainable. This moment also marks the start of our efforts to ratify the Agreement and make it law. The challenge now is to turn the work of our negotiators into a monumental achievement for the Inuit of Labrador, the people of this province and Canadian society as a whole. I believe we can, and will, achieve this, and I look forward to the ratification of the Agreement by Labrador Inuit, the House of Assembly and Parliament."

"With this agreement in principle, there is now another reason Newfoundland and Labrador's children have a very bright future," said Minister Dryden. "We are working to develop an ambitious, high-quality, developmental-based system of early learning and child care in every province and territory in this country. We have already signed Agreements in Principle with three other provinces and, over the coming weeks, I hope that we will conclude more agreements with other provincial and territorial governments."
Extractions: September 30, 2003 Liberal Premier Roger Grimes has called a provincial election in Newfoundland and Labrador for October 21, 2003. However, the Premier is heading to the polls as the underdog. The Progressive Conservative Party under Danny Williams is riding high following a September poll that showed his party with a commanding lead over the Liberals and New Democratic Party. All three parties have released their election platforms. The Liberal Party is stressing increased government spending in areas of healthcare, education and rural development, while still balancing the budget. The Progressive Conservatives have also promised new spending initiatives, more efficient and accountable government, and deficit elimination. The NDP has focused on reforms in education and health, a public automobile insurance scheme, and the introduction of a new public energy corporation.

The lawsuit was successful, as all of the seven previous ones have been. Justice Derek Green only took a day to hand down his decision. About 87% of Canadians now live in a territory or province that permits same-sex marriage (SSM). Among the ten provinces in Canada, only Alberta, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island still refuse to allow same-sex couples to marry, as of 2005-JAN-21. 2003-FALL: Noelle French and Jacqueline Pottle applied for a marriage license twice and were refused both times. 2004-OCT: Theresa Walsh and Lisa Zigler applied for a marriage license and were refused. 2004-NOV-4: 2004-DEC-16: SSM lawsuits have been almost routine across Canada in recent months. However, there is a difference in this case. The federal government announced that it would support the two couples in their bid for equality. The lawsuit was heard before the Supreme Court of Newfoundland 2004-DEC-21: Justice Derek Green ordered the province to issue licenses to the plaintiffs and any other qualified same-sex couples.
