Premier hopes to patch up relations following export exemption for Vale, comments by Keith Russell
Premier Paul Davis will be travelling to Labrador early next month for meetings with aboriginal leaders in an attempt to smooth relations following a dust-up over mineral exports and comments by one of his cabinet ministers.
Davis announced Tuesday that he will meet with Nunatsiavut Government President Sarah Leo and Innu Nation Grand Chief Anastatia Qupee, likely during the week of April 6.
Both aboriginal leaders have been critical of the province’s recent decision to extend the export exemption for Vale, allowing the mining giant to ship more nickel concentrate from its mine at Voisey’s Bay outside of the province for processing.
