Campbell Seeks Hydro Plan Review
Former Manitoba Liberal premier D L Cendell urged the provincial government to start a full review of Manitoba Hydro plans for the Nelson River power project. He argued reversing the sequence could save 4 million annually and boost energy sales, while noting a $50 million Lake Winnipeg regulation program and a Churchill River diversion are planned for 1975 or 1976. Schreyer resisted, saying the government’s basic assumptions remain unchanged.
