Premier Andrew Furey and Quebec Premier Francois Legault have wrapped up preliminary discussions around the future of the controversial Churchill Falls contract in St. John’s.

But they’re refusing to say how the talks went or, more importantly, what specifically was discussed.

The premiers characterized this morning’s hour-long meeting as high-level, with thought given to what will happen when the contract expires in — or the potential for a compromise before then.

But they refused to get into the finer details yet, other than to say nothing has been excluded from talks, including what, if any role the Muskrat Falls could play.

Legault addressed residents of this province directly, acknowledging the infamous 1969 contract was a bad deal that’s caused much anger and frustration.

The Quebec premier stated while that history can’t be re-written, he expressed hope a new agreement can be worked out that will be “a win-win” for both provinces.

That said, it’s acknowledged Newfoundland and Labrador is in a much stronger position today as expiry of the contract nears and the value of Churchill Falls grows.

Quebec continues to reap billions more than this province from the deal, something Furey is clearly intent on correcting.

He said while it’s important to explore the “art of the possible” through continued high-level talks, he cautioned that could lead to something or nothing.

Both premiers also committed to consulting with Indigenous groups, with Furey scheduled to meet with Innu Grand Chief Etienne Rich on Monday.
