Danny Williams is urging officials with Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro to ask Hydro-Québec to pay more as the two public utilities negotiate a final deal on electricity rates from Labrador .

He pointed to recent comments in media reports from a Hydro-québec official saying the draft deal offers remarkable prices at rates the province could not refuse.

The agreement in principle replaces a 1969 contract that gave Hydro-Qébec power rates from Newfoundland that are far below market value.
