THE QUESTIONS SHOULD BE ANSWERED.
The questions Gerry Reid put forward are very pertinent and if we are to judge whether a potential contract which might result from what is contained within the Memo of Understanding will be a benefical one to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, we need to have the questions answered so we can digest the contents.
We demanded that Roger Grimes release the details of the Voisey's Bay Statement of Principles and we have to demand that you, Premier Williams do the same on the Hebron MOU. While I know that Premier Williams can construct a good contract, the question remains did he cave in to too many demands from BIG OIL AND OTTAWA, and therefore any contract that results will give too much away to other jurisdictions?


I wouldn't place face value on any politician ever again. What I have learned of the values of today's politicians on how they toe the Ottawa line, Big Industry line and instead do what is right to move themselves forward, instead of doing what is right for their constitutents when it comes to resources development, makes them very undependable in my mind. The blind faith era is over for me.

So Premier Williams do what is right and please release the contents of the Memo of Understanding so that we know what is in them. I supported you Premier Williams on your request for the release on Voisey's Bay Statement of Principles and I am now supporting Gerry Reid in his request for information so that the electrorate can be informed on the HEBRON MOU. It is a symbol of 'good governance'.
Please do what is right!
