There was the Free Trade Agreement , the support to anti apartheid forces, and the acid rain deal with the Americans but to many in the nation’s eastern most Province it was something else.
A great friend of Newfoundland land and Labrador has passed.
Without Mr.Mulroney keeping his promise, the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador would not be a have Province today. His pursuit with the Honourable Pat Carney , his Energy Minister, to ensure the Province’s offshore hydro carbon resources were treated the same as other Provinces onshore hydro carbon resources was monumental and changed the course of Canada ‘s constitutional development because the Atlantic Accord became applicable all across the nation.
In my 2012 book I said:
“Without Brian Mulroney there would be no Atlantic Accord, and without the Accord Newfoundland and Labrador would not be a
“have” province today. And this book would have been much different.”
