Former Newfoundland and Labrador premiers say a draft energy agreement signed Thursday with Quebec marks a historic break in a long-standing political standoff.

The article discusses the successful resolution of a long-standing dispute between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador over the Churchill Falls hydroelectric project, which has been a point of contention since the 1969 agreement. The recent deal, which involves Quebec purchasing additional electricity from Newfoundland and Labrador, has been praised by former premiers from both provinces. This agreement not only promises economic benefits but also sets a precedent for resolving inter-provincial conflicts. Former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams highlighted the importance of this deal in fostering a cooperative relationship, while former Quebec Premier Jean Charest noted that the resolution could serve as a model for other regions facing similar issues. The deal is seen as a significant step forward in Canadian inter-provincial relations, showcasing how mutual benefits can lead to breakthroughs in previously intractable disputes.
