A new version of the agreement on Churchill Falls has been announced, but questions remain about its validity. According to "Le Devoir," doubts exist regarding Premier Christine Fréchette's ability to successfully lead this negotiation, particularly due to a perceived lack of legitimacy, as highlighted by the Parti québécois.

Radio-Canada reports that Fréchette's statements about her willingness to sign the agreement have drawn criticism from opposition parties, who view these announcements as an electoral maneuver. The negotiations are expected to reach at least 45 billion with Newfoundland and Labrador.
