Churchill Falls deal wouldn’t be torn up ‘just for the sake of it’ by a PQ government, St-Pierre Plamondon says

Parti Québécois Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon says if his party forms the next provincial government it would “simply commit to doing a due diligence review” of the tentative Churchill Falls agreement.

Asked by a reporter Monday if a PQ government could possibly tear up the deal upon seeing the terms, St-Pierre Plamondon was mitigated in his response.

“That’s not our intention. The feedback we’re getting from Hydro-Québec — even though there hasn’t been full disclosure or transparency regarding the agreement — is that it seems to be a good agreement,” he said.
