'A chance to prosper' 
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Northern Pen
Dear Editor,
After listening to recent commentary I felt compelled, as a resident and businessman, to address some of the criticisms of the current government's investment or lack thereof in rural Newfoundland and Labrador.
I am proof of this government's rural investment and intention to help sustain rural Newfoundland. With a lot of hard work and partnership with government departments I was able to acquire the necessary capital to expand my business and therefore employ a greater number of people from the area. The current government's support of and investment in my business and in turn the forest industry on the Northern Peninsula has diversified and revitalized the entire industry. It's because of this support that our industry has been given a chance to survive and even more importantly, a chance to prosper.
I would ask the people of this district to stop and reflect on what today would look like without this government's support over the past 6 years.
Sincerely,
Ted Lewis
