Mr. Speaker, we are sure getting some mixed signals here. If the Power Corporation itself was involved in determining this position and drafting the directive, why is it then that we had to bring the lawyers in? I understand that the Premier's office found it necessary to consult the services of a lawyer in this matter and if I read today's newspaper correctly, the Power Corporation itself brought two lawyers in to help interpret a directive that the Minister says it actually helped to write.
What steps were taken, Mr. Speaker, by the Minister to clarify and confirm with the corporation what the government's intentions were?
