  Newfoundland and Labrador's Opposition Progressive Conservatives asked the premier today to suspend a vote on a draft energy deal with Quebec's hydro utility until it is reviewed by independent experts.

The opposition in Newfoundland and Labrador is urging the government to delay a vote on a proposed energy deal with Quebec, which involves selling hydroelectric power from the Churchill Falls project. The deal, which would extend the current agreement set to expire in 2041, has raised concerns about its long-term implications for the province. Critics argue that the deal could lock Newfoundland and Labrador into unfavorable terms for decades, potentially undervaluing their energy resources. The opposition, led by the NDP, is calling for more transparency and public consultation before any decision is made, emphasizing the need for a thorough review of the contract's terms to ensure it benefits the province's residents.
