The Churchill Falls Review Panel has delivered its report on the Upper Churchill MOU to government, but when its findings will be released to the public, or whether a referendum will be held, is not yet known.<\/p>\n

Premier Tony Wakeham, who had not yet seen the report when speaking to reporters yesterday, says the first order of business will be to have legal advisors look it over to ensure government doesn\u2019t release anything that can\u2019t be released.<\/p>\n

Then government will look at tabling the document in the House of Assembly.<\/p>\n

He says it\u2019s too early to talk about a referendum \u2013 they have to get a deal first.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, the first thing we\u2019ve got to do is start negotiations. Obviously, we want to get the best deal for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, I mean, that\u2019s always been the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s make sure we maximize the benefit for the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. What does that look like? Who does it involve?<\/p>\n

He says government cannot get a review and then \u201cturn around and sit back.\u201d He says they need some direction, and then \u201cget moving.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Premier Tony Wakeham (VOCM News) The Churchill Falls Review Panel has delivered its report on the Upper…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":640767,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[45,49,48],"class_list":["post-640766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=640766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/640767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=640766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=640766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=640766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
