L’entente énergétique sur Churchill Falls est bonne pour T.-N.-L. et pour le Québec, réitère Legault
AI Article Summary
Prime Minister François Legault supports the energy agreement between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador after a conservative government election. Newfoundland and Labrador's new Prime Minister, Tony Wakeham, seeks an independent review of the controversial 2024 agreement. The deal raises the price of electricity purchased by Hydro-Québec and includes additional hydroelectric projects. Former Liberal leader John Hogan defends it, anticipating it will generate $225 billion for the province over 50 years.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors

For Quebec builders, this may mean opportunities in prefabrication and material supply for new hydroelectric projects along the Churchill River. Additionally, a potential review of the agreement could affect timelines for ongoing projects.
