The MP for Cape Spear says he is “far more hopeful” now that Bay du Nord will proceed than he was two or three years ago.
That’s according to Tom Osborne, who a couple of years ago would have been around the cabinet table and in on any provincial talks about that project.
Noting recent talks between the Prime Minister and the Premier on the subject, Osborne says he is “hopeful” that Bay du Nord will eventually be included in a federal major projects list.
He calls the project “a whole new frontier for offshore oil and gas for Newfoundland and Labrador.”
Osborne says “we have a very friendly government in Ottawa now and a Prime Minister who wants to see development. So that bodes well for that project.” He says getting Bay du Nord off the ground will open up many opportunities for the industry.
