CBC Newfoundland Morning

It was a day later than originally planned, but the provincial budget was delivered yesterday. The event had been postponed due to the tense protests on Wednesday by fish harvesters outside the Confederation Building in St. John's. Despite a court injunction delivered on Wednesday, protesters returned the next day and were met by police officers in riot gear. In response, the provincial NDP announced they would NOT be going into the House of Assembly and attending the budget announcement, out of respect for the protesters. We spoke with NDP leader Jim Dinn.
