ST. JOHN’S – Newfoundland and Labrador’s Liberals and Progressive Conservatives are locked in a tight race after an election campaign that saw them sparring over the fate of a multibillion-dollar energy deal.
Within an hour after the polls closed, the governing Liberals and Tories were jockeying for first place.
A total of 21 seats is needed for a majority in the 40-seat legislature.
The governing Liberals, led by John Hogan, say the proposed agreement between Hydro-Québec and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is “the election issue.”
But Progressive Conservative Leader Tony Wakeham argues the deal is not as good as it could be.
He’s pledged to have the document reviewed by an independent third party, and then press for better terms.
