Federal Minister Seamus O’Regan indicates an announcement is coming soon for the offshore—when a deal is finally reached, that is.
O’Regan, who is heading into a three-day cabinet retreat, told VOCM Open Line with Paddy Daly there is a great deal of urgency surrounding the issue and they’re “hammering out the last steps.”
The Minister of Natural Resources says the federal government knows there are a lot of people out there who are facing anxiety over their jobs and they want to get the deal done.
O’Regan could not offer any timelines, only to say that something is coming soon. He says as soon as the agreement is reached with the province, the details will be rolled out.
