According to a story in the Montreal Gazette:
"In addition to Lac-Mégantic, Marois has a one-on-one
meeting planned with Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Kathy Dunderdale
to discuss hydroelectrical projects in Labrador.
Newfoundland plans to build a $7.6-billion, 824-megawatt hydroelectrical project at
Muskrat Falls, downstream from the 5,428-megawatt Churchill Falls dam,
operated by Hydro-Québec.
Newfoundland is still bitter about a
1969 agreement giving Churchill Falls power to Hydro-Québec for 0.25 of a
cent a kilowatt hour, dropping to 0.20 of a cent a kilowatt hour from
2016 until 2041.
Dunderdale wants to export Muskrat Falls power to
New England using undersea transmission lines to Newfoundland and then
from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia.
At the July
meeting of the Council of the Federation in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Marois
proposed discussing the situation with Dunderdale at the La Malbaie
meeting."
Did this meeting occur? If not - why not? If so what happened?
