纽芬兰与拉布拉多省省长表示，该省与魁北克省就拉布拉多地区能源开发达成的协议不容重新谈判。
Newfoundland and Labrador's premier says an agreement with Quebec to develop energy in Labrador is not open for renegotiation.
托尼·韦克汉姆周三表示，纽芬兰与拉布拉多省政府已投票赞成这项不具约束力的协议。他于今年8月与总理马克·卡尼及魁北克省前省长克里斯蒂娜·弗雷谢特在圣约翰斯共同公布了该协议。
Tony Wakeham said Wednesday that the Newfoundland and Labrador government had already voted in favour of the non-binding agreement, which he unveiled in August alongside Prime Minister Mark Carney and former Quebec premier Christine Frechette in St. John's.
“我要明确表示：我们不会重新谈判这项协议，也不会理会任何想要重新谈判该协议的企图，”他说。
"Let me be clear: we will not be renegotiating the deal, and will not entertain an attempt by anyone else wishing to renegotiate the deal," he said.
他发表上述言论之际，记者追问最终协议是否会在立法机构辩论之前签署。但魁北克省如今已由新的魁北克人党政府执政，该政府可能会要求修改这项价值数十亿加元的协议。
He made the remarks as reporters pressed him about whether final agreements would be signed before they were debated in the legislature. But there is also a new Parti Québécois government in Quebec that could ask for changes to the multibillion-dollar agreement.
韦克汉姆表示，他没有听到任何关于魁北克省省长保罗·圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东想要修改协议的传言。
Wakeham said he has not heard any rumblings about Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon wanting changes.
“我想我只是在阐明我们的立场，”韦克汉姆在圣约翰斯对记者说。
"I think what I'm trying to do is just outline our position," Wakeham told reporters in St. John's.
该提案——政府称之为最终合作与实施协议——规划了魁北克水电公司与纽芬兰与拉布拉多水电公司扩大丘吉尔河水力发电能力的计划，该河流经因纽特人的传统领地。
The proposal — which the government has called a definitive co-operation and implementation agreement — lays out plans for Hydro-Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro to expand the hydroelectric capacity of the Churchill River, which cuts through traditional Innu territory.
卡尼曾将该提案誉为“北美历史上最大的清洁能源投资”，其政府已承诺提供100亿加元融资予以支持。
Carney has touted the proposal as "the largest clean energy investment in North American history" and his government has promised $10 billion in financing to help it along.
拉布拉多因纽特民族大酋长周三在脸书发帖称，尽管该协议拟在因纽特人的土地上开展项目，但因纽特人并未参与能源谈判。
In a Facebook post Wednesday, the grand chief of the Innu Nation in Labrador said Innu were not included in the energy negotiations despite the agreement proposing projects on Innu land.
乔迪·阿希尼指出，卡尼曾在社交媒体发帖称他最近在渥太华会见了韦克汉姆，而韦克汉姆也发表公开声明，承诺“继续以尊重的方式与因纽特民族接触”。她写道：“与总理会面、讨论我们的土地，却不让我们参与其中，这怎么能算尊重？”
Jodie Ashini pointed to a social media post by Carney saying he met with Wakeham recently in Ottawa, and a public statement from Wakeham pledging to "keep engaging respectfully with the Innu Nation." "How is meeting with the prime minister and discussing our lands and not having us at the table respectful?" she wrote.
“目前，纽芬兰与拉布拉多省政府对因纽特人毫无尊重可言。”她补充道：“来谢沙齐乌和我们谈谈吧。”她指的是拉布拉多中部的一个因纽特人社区，因纽特民族的主要办公室就设在那里。
"There is no respect from the [Newfoundland and Labrador] government right now to the Innu." "Come to Sheshatshiu and speak with us," she added, referring to an Innu community in central Labrador where the Innu Nation has its main office.
阿希尼指责韦克汉姆及其政府干预了一场详述拉布拉多因纽特人历史的文化展览。她说，政府认为因纽特人是在约300年前、在欧洲人之后才来到这里的。她曾表示，这一立场抹杀了因纽特人数千年的历史。
Ashini has accused Wakeham and his government of interfering with a cultural exhibit detailing Innu history in Labrador. She says the government believes Innu arrived about 300 years ago, after the Europeans. The position erases thousands of years of Innu history, she has said.
周三，韦克汉姆表示，他将向立法机构提交所有最终能源协议，并提议就这些协议进行特别辩论。当记者问及这些协议是否届时已经签署时，他没有直接回答，但明确表示这些协议不会开放修改。
On Wednesday, Wakeham said he would table all final energy agreements in the legislature and propose a special debate about them. He would not answer directly when reporters asked if thoseagreements would already be signed, but he was clear they would not be open for changes.
纽芬兰与拉布拉多省在首席谈判代表辞职后任命丘吉尔河电力协议新首席谈判代表 丘吉尔河电力合同将在提交众议院审议之前敲定 魁北克人党未立即回应置评请求。
N.L. taps new lead negotiator for Churchill River power deal following resignation Churchill River power contracts will be settled before they're seen by House of Assembly The Parti Quebecois did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
圣皮埃尔·普拉蒙东及其内阁于上周宣誓就职，韦克汉姆尚未与新任省长当面会晤。
St-Pierre Plamondon and his cabinet were sworn in last week, and Wakeham has not yet met with the new premier in person.
“快了，”韦克汉姆说，“他想来纽芬兰与拉布拉多会面。他在我们上次交谈时向我表达了这一意向，我对此很期待。”
"It's coming," Wakeham said. "He wants to come to Newfoundland and Labrador for a meeting. He indicated that to me in our last conversation, and I'm looking forward to that."
