Progressive Conservative leader — and new MHA — Ches Crosbie wants to see the date of next fall's provincial election changed to avoid potential confusion with the federal election set to happen around the same time. The next provincial election is scheduled for Oct. 8, 2019, while the next federal election will be on or before Oct. 21, of the same year. However, the election rules of the province allow for a change in the set date if the premier, in the months before voting day, feels the provincial date overlaps with a federal election. In that case the rules stipulate the election could be moved to the last Monday of November, 2019. As for Muskrat Falls, Crosbie is looking to the future and said that's what voters ask of him.
