Premier Ball was hit with calls to resign from his job on June 2 in the House of Assembly. The NDP said the premier could have intervened to stop the Nalcor board, but failed to do so. Newfoundland and Labrador's NDP turned up the heat in the brewing Nalcor severance scandal Thursday, calling for the resignation of Premier Dwight Ball and Natural Resources Minister Siobhan Coady. Marshall wrote that a Nalcor board meeting was taking a pause to "advise action and pending action," regarding Ed Martin's termination without cause. He said they were doing what needed to be done for the province: They were handling the Muskrat Falls project, fixing the deficit and they were handling the Nalcor severance scandal, he said.
