The leader of the Coalition Avenir Québec says he wants to form an energy alliance with Ontario and the Atlantic Provinces to if he becomes premier in this fall’s election.
François Legault announced his plan, which he says would help export more Quebec electricity, on Monday as part of an address to the Conseil des relations internationales de Montréal (CORIM). The multi-region deal would involve building additional power lines to Ontario, the northeastern United States and even the U.S. Midwest. It even left open the possibility of building another dam.
“If Quebecers put their trust in us, I intend to start discussions to forge an alliance with Ontario and with the Atlantic Provinces the Energy Alliance. In fact, we must have the ambition to significantly increase Quebec’s electricity exports, and thus, to enrich Quebecers,” he said.
Legault is hoping such an alliance would attract Ontario and put an end to decades of hydro squabbles between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador.
Last September, however, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne balked after Legault boasted that she had said she was open to his export plan. She said that her province did not have unmet energy needs at that time.
