Danny Williams on suggestions of a boundary dispute: 'It's only, I guess, to cause some aggravation between us and our Quebec neighbours.' (CBC)

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams says he has no concerns that a boundary dispute could be resurfacing between his province and Quebec.

Two reports in the Globe and Mail newspaper last week suggested that Quebec's plan to develop hydroelectric power on the Romaine River could hit a stumbling block because of opposition from Newfoundland and Labrador, and because of tensions over the Quebec-Labrador boundary, which is near the proposed site.

But Williams told CBC News that he actually supports the Romaine project, which Quebec hopes to launch next year, and that there is no conflict over which province owns what land.

"It's been acknowledged by various premiers and officials of the Quebec government. It's been acknowledged in various documentation that's come from their government, so for me it's a dead issue," Williams said.

The hint of an impending boundary dispute comes as Williams's own government is trying to figure out the best route for exporting power from the potential Lower Churchill megaproject in Labrador.

Two of the biggest power customers could be Quebec and Ontario, although Newfoundland and Labrador has been exploring other alternatives, such as the Maritime provinces and American states.

Williams does not see anything, though, in the relationship between the two provinces that could jeopardize either megaproject.

"It's only, I guess, to cause some aggravation between us and our Quebec neighbours," Williams said of the suggestions.

"We have a good relationship and I don't see any reason for that to change."
