Leaders spar over Quebec energy deal as Newfoundland and Labrador campaign begins

ST. JOHN'S - The leaders of Newfoundland and Labrador's largest political parties took shots at once another on Monday over a draft energy deal with Quebec as campaigns began for a general provincial election on Oct. 14.

Liberal Leader John Hogan bookended a speech at the party's campaign launch with stirring lines about the bright future ahead after the two provinces' hydro utilities sign binding final agreements, which are expected next year.
