Hebron shelved; Williams takes aim at Exxon

[GliderGuider]

Mark MacLeod, manager of external relations with Chevron Canada, said the partners could not come to agreement over Williams' demand for an equity stake.

Williams, however, said the province believes Exxon Mobil Properties – one of the project's four partners – does not want to develop the project.

"I'm saying to Exxon Mobil right now that if you don't want to move on with this project, then we would be prepared to take you out," said Williams, who added his government is prepared to take on a greater equity stake with remaining partners.

Williams said provincial negotiators were close to reaching an equity stake of five per cent.

The greedy busturds are dragging their heels over 5% ?!
I say, let 'em cool those heels.
So what if the jobs head elsewhere? They'll be back soon enough and they'll be worth a heckova lot more.
