Under the leadership of My Premier, who is chair of both the Council of the Federation and its Energy Committee, Newfoundland and Labrador is currently working with other provinces and territories to produce a Pan-Canadian Energy Strategy. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro already developed, on My Government’s behalf, a comprehensive Lower Churchill project execution plan to achieve a project sanction date by 2009 and first power by 2015.

You will see the development of the Lower Churchill in our lifetime, and long before that, for the benefit of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Coming soon:

You will see the development of the Lower Churchill before the sun expands into its red-giant phase and vapourizes the earth, and long before that, for the benefit of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.

You will see the development of the Lower Churchill before the heat death of the universe, and long before that, for the benefit of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador.
