The province is watching very closely as it awaits the federal Environment Minister’s decision on the Bay du Nord project.
Equinor’s massive project is going through the environmental assessment process and the minister’s decision is due next week.
There are indications, however, that there is some dissention within the federal Liberal caucus amid environmental concerns about giving the okay to future oil and gas projects.
Rick Farrell of Unifor Local 20 in Marystown says the project is very important to the region and the province.
