Premiers Pledge Unity On Energy
Premier Shawn Graham along with Premiers Darrell Dexter of Nova Scotia, Robert Ghiz of Prince Edward Island and Danny Williams of Newfoundland and Labrador are talking about working together for clean and renewable energy across the region.
The premiers are in Massachusetts for the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers, where energy issues have been a major focus of discussions. PEI's Ghiz is represented by Deputy Premier George Webster.
All four Atlantic Canadian provinces have been working together on energy issues through the Council of Atlantic Premiers, and they want to build on that work with Ottawa through the Atlantic Energy Gateway Initiative.
