    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Aug, 2015 11:38 AM
      HAPPY VALLEY-GOOSE BAY, N.L. — The Crown corporation overseeing the Muskrat Falls hydro project in Labrador says protesters have left the work site as complaints about hiring and alleged racism are reviewed.
       
      Nalcor Energy says as of this morning small groups of protesters at two locations had left.
       
      Nalcor President and CEO Ed Martin met with Innu leaders Sunday and apologized to a young Innu man after he was allegedly assaulted at the site.
       
       
      Innu Nation Grand Chief Anastasia Qupee (CUE'-pea) says Nalcor has agreed to more talks on whether a benefits deal to help qualified Innu workers land jobs has been fulfilled.
       
      Small groups of protesters interrupted work at Muskrat Falls in recent days but Nalcor says contractors are now recalling staff.
       
      RCMP say a 23-year-old Goose Bay man is charged with assault in connection with an incident August 9 at the project site.
