Premiers Staying Tight Lipped Regarding Future of Controversial Churchill Falls Contract Talks nlpoli
Premier Andrew Furey and Quebec Premier Francois Legault have wrapped up preliminary discussions around the future of the controversial Churchill Falls contract in St. John’s.
The premiers characterized this morning’s hour-long meeting as high-level, with thought given to what will happen when the contract expires in — or the potential for a compromise before then. Legault addressed residents of this province directly, acknowledging the infamous 1969 contract was a bad deal that’s caused much anger and frustration.
That said, it’s acknowledged Newfoundland and Labrador is in a much stronger position today as expiry of the contract nears and the value of Churchill Falls grows.
