Newfoundland And Labrador: Shell

Throne Speech Dept: A pre-election throne speech, most likely. Which is probably what we saw when a new session opened at the legislature last week, according to The Chronicle Herald. There s no question that contract, and other good news such as Shell s investment in renewed drilling offshore and the multi-billion-dollar hydro project in Newfoundland and Labrador, hold the solid promise of stronger economic growth in years to come and wHAT do you get when you add a big slice of sunny optimism to a jam-packed list of planned initiatives that must have been exhausting to read, much less eventually deliver? The NDP government now completing its third year of governing understandably exulted in the economic opportunities before Nova Scotia, most notably due to the $25-billion shipbuilding deal won last fall by Halifax Shipyards.
