Newfoundland and Labrador's natural resources minister is refusing to release information about an agreement that deals with a scrapped component of the Hebron project, despite pressure from the Opposition.

In the house of assembly this week, the Opposition Liberals have been asking Natural Resources Minister Kathy Dunderdale to release details of the agreement that deal with any cancellations involving the development.

Dunderdale has refused.

"We haven't released the amount of money concerning the part of the project that now needs to be redesigned because it is commercially sensitive info," Dunderdale told the legislature Monday.

The province confirmed Dec. 11 that ExxonMobil, the project operator, was cancelling a plan to build a pre-drilling component of the project because it was too expensive and risky.

Instead, under the Hebron benefits agreement, the province will get an equal amount of construction work somewhere else in the province or the oil company will pay an equivalent amount of money to the province.

Dunderdale acknowledged that whatever the dollar figure is, it doesn't include any spin-off benefits that may have been a byproduct of the fabrication work,

She also said the cancellation will delay the Hebron project for a short time.
