Premier Dwight Ball and federal cabinet minister Seamus O’Regan are holding a joint media event in St. John’s, N.L., at 6 p.m. local time.
The review was to assess the extent to which Newfoundland and Labrador has reaped majority benefit from its offshore resources.
Ball has called the Atlantic Accord a top priority for his government, and a focus of discussions with Ottawa this winter.
The governments faced a deadline dictating the 2005 document had to be reviewed by April 2019.
