ST. JOHN'S - Newfoundland and Labrador's new premier says the review of a proposed energy deal with Quebec's hydro utility will start within weeks.

Tony Wakeham was sworn into office today after his Progressive Conservative party won a slim majority in this month's provincial election, ending 10 years of Liberal governments.
