Fréchette warns that Quebec's upcoming election could jeopardize the $33.8-billion energy supply agreement with Newfoundland and Labrador unless finalized before the vote; she has urged a prompt settlement, informed Wakeham of the election deadline, and trusts his swift process.

Boulet supports finalizing the draft energy agreement with Newfoundland and Labrador, saying Quebec needs the additional electricity and that the deal "must not fall through"; he emphasizes achieving energy objectives and increasing Quebec's capacity.

Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, leader of the Parti Québécois, called the proposed energy agreement with Newfoundland and Labrador 'humiliating' for Quebec and demanded it be reviewed by members of the legislature, signaling opposition and seeking legislative scrutiny.
