Do you want me to respond? The question of fairness is not for the federal government. The question of fairness is for the two parties that entered into the deal some 30 years ago.
I have taken heart today from the fact that my Quebec counterpart, the minister of natural resources, Mr. Chevrette, has indicated an openness and willingness to sit down with the province of Newfoundland and talk about the possibility of negotiation on future projects and the terms on which they might go ahead. The premier of Quebec has indicated his openness to discuss and
negotiate the issue of open access transmission of electricity through the province of Quebec.
I would suggest that the two parties should sit down and talk about their differences and attempt to renegotiate the deal if that is their wish.
