Provincial Energy Minister Prefers Talk Over Lawsuit

Provincial Energy Minister Craig Leonard says talks between the province and the federal government are going well with regards to the cost overruns on the Point Lepreau Refurbishment.
The project is 3 years behind schedule and the province believes is should not be on the hook for the payment of replacement power.

Leonard tells CHSJ News negotiations are progressing well but litigation is in the backpocket.
He says the two sides will be meeting again in the coming weeks.
