When it was someone else in the Premier’s Office:
[Williams] also said the agreement in principle [on the Lower Churchill] fails to address the Upper Churchill deal.
"The Upper Churchill power project must be the most lopsided agreement ever signed in the history of Canada," Williams said.
While prominent Newfoundlanders have urged that any Lower Churchill deal address the Upper Churchill, Williams said Grimes views them as separate entities.
"I don't accept Premier Roger Grimes's position," Williams said.
"It's something you would expect to hear from quitters and we are not quitters."
And once the Old Man got the job:
The Premier has gone to Quebec, and gone to Premier Charest, and, y’know, we’ve had Nalcor visit, y’know, Hydro-Quebec, I’ve been meeting with ministers and so on, and we say to them, OK, y’know, we’ll set the Upper Churchill to one side. But, y’know, let’s sit down and have a talk about this Lower Churchill piece.
