Premier Questions Standards - Mar 19, 2009

Premier Danny Williams is raising questions about the standards set for survival suits in the Newfoundland offshore. Williams says, while the suits are the latest on the market, the standards for those suits were set back in 1999. Premier Williams says while those suits may not have made a difference in the circumstances surrounding the Cougar Helicopter crash, the question of updating the standards needs to be addressed. Williams and Natural Resources Minister Kathy Dunderdale went before the microphones at 3:30. Williams says there are a lot of concerns that need to be raised and answered, but he did not want to do it while bodies were still being recovered.
