Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said Newfoundland and Labrador is “at the table” during discussions on the Atlantic Loop, amid concerns among politicians that the province is being shut out of the project.

“I do also want to be very clear that in the tables that we have dedicated to developing the plan for the Atlantic Loop, Newfoundland and Labrador is at the table right now” Freeland said during a press conference in St. John’s on Tuesday to highlight investments from the recent 2023 budget.
