Newfoundland and Labrador's Liberal and NDP parties have set out their concerns ahead of a debate on a new Churchill Falls memorandum of understanding, VOCM reports. The debate is scheduled for the House of Assembly, according to the same outlet.
VOCM reported the concerns on Friday, 11 September 2026. The government has also outlined details of the special debate, and VOCM reports that a list of experts is due to be released the same day.
Coverage of the session has focused on what the Churchill River power agreement means for the province. CBC published an explainer on the House of Assembly sitting, while ntv.ca examined how the Innu Nation and Quebec could affect the deal.
A separate report, carried by Yahoo News Canada, said the Gull Island project would be clear of an impact assessment if there are "no substantive changes."
Few specifics of the memorandum have been confirmed in the reporting available so far. The parties' stated concerns and the government's expert list are expected to shape the debate.
Watch for the release of the government's expert list and for the positions the Liberals and NDP take when the House of Assembly debate gets under way.
