Well, Mr.
Speaker, if we
could have gotten a copy of that concession agreement, we might have sought our own legal opinion about whether or not our liability would
have been extended with the signing of the concession agreement.
The Premier is asserting that for us now to kill the legislation, to kill the project, would expose us to some liability. He’s obviously privy to information that we are not privy to, because we haven’t even seen the concession agreement yet, never mind voted on it or supported it.
Anyway, I’d like to know what the Auditor General thinks of this whole process. There must be, someplace out there, an independent opinion that could look at what has transpired here and give us an opinion about it.
Would the Premier please give us a copy of the concession agreement so we can get an independent legal opinion? Please give us a copy of all the other documentation to go to the Auditor General, so that we can say, “Does this meet the standard of transparency and accountability for a public government?”
