Newfoundland Premier Says Ottawa's Trying To Isolate Saskatchewan
Newfoundland & Labrador Premier, Danny Williams said Saskatchewan is being isolated by the federal government's assertion that its dispute with some Atlantic provinces is not about the issue of excluding oil and gas revenues from the equalization formula, but rather about the Atlantic Accord — an agreement on offshore oil and gas revenues.
"What that does, it completely isolates Saskatchewan … so then there's one problem solved," said Williams, who added he stands "shoulder to shoulder" with Saskatchewan Premier Lorne Calvert on the issue.
