Premier Pat Binns today issued the following Labour Day message.
On Monday, September 01, Prince Edward Islanders will observe Labour Day by recognizing the contribution made by all working people to our province and our country.
On behalf of the Government of Prince Edward Island, I am pleased to extend Labour Day greetings to all our work force. They are our greatest resource and it is through their efforts that our economy continues to grow.
I want to especially recognize all workers who made the Confederation Bridge a reality. It was through their efforts that we now have a new era in transportation; one that offers tremendous opportunities for growth in our tourism and transportation industry. Exporters of agricultural and manufactured products can be more competitive based on reduced travel time and scheduling.
As Premier, I wish to reinforce our commitment to enhance fairness for Prince Edward Island's working people and acknowledge the important role they play in revitalizing our economy. Your contribution deserves special recognition on Labour Day. Together, our future will prosper.
Thank you and enjoy Labour Day.
