    CIMFP Exhibit P-00418 Page 1 CBC Canadian taxpayers will ultimately bear Muskrat Falls burden, predicts Ron Penney Longtime critic of hydro project says NL taxpayer cannot afford the billions in debt Terry Roberts · CBC News · Posted: Sep 13, 2018 8:20 PM NT | Last Updated: September 16 Ron Penney is a former senior public servant in Newfoundland and Labrador and outspoken critic of the controversial Muskrat Falls project. (Eddy Kennedy/CBC) Ron Penney says Canadians from across the country should be deeply worried about Muskrat Falls, because he's certain they will shoulder the burden of the billions being spent to construct the controversial hydroelectric project in Labrador. "One hundred per cent," Penney says when asked if Ottawa will have to bail out the province for taking a gamble that has "gone very, very wrong." CIMFP Exhibit P-00418 Page 2 Lonely critics Penney is a lawyer and former senior public servant with the province and the City of St. John's. He's also among the founding members of the Muskrat Falls Concerned Citizens Coalition. The spillway at Muskrat Falls. (Eddy Kennedy/CBC) Penney and David Vardy, another former senior public servant, were early and vocal critics of Muskrat Falls at a time when public opinion was solidly behind it and former premier Danny Williams, a hard-charging politician who wielded a lot of influence, was its biggest booster. Opposing the project in those days invited ridicule and dismissal, making it difficult for people to speak out, said Penney, in a province where "dissent is frowned upon" and so many people are connected to government in some way.

  • If We Could All Be Peter Lougheed” Provincial Premiers and Their Legacies, 1967-2007 1
    “If we could all be Peter Lougheed” Provincial premiers and their legacies, 1967-2007 1 J.P. Lewis Carleton University [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Introduction For a variety of reasons, the careers of Canadian provincial premiers have escaped explicit academic attention. Premiers are found frequently in Canadian political science literature, but more for direct roles and actions – in questions of the constitution, federalism, public policy and electoral and legislative studies – instead of longitudinal study and analysis. This fits a pattern of neglect in the field; some academics have lamented the lack of direct attention to provincial politics and history (Brownsey and Howlett 2001). The aggregate imprints of premiers are relatively ignored outside of regional and provincial treatments. No pan- Canadian assessment of premiers exists, and probably for good reason. The theoretical and methodological concerns with asking general research questions about premiers are plenty; leadership theory and historical approaches provide some foundations but any approach is going to confront conceptual challenges. This is where this study is found – in a void of precedents but a plethora of qualitative data. 2 Regardless of methodological challenges, some historians, political scientists and members of the media have not shied away from ranking and assessing national leaders. Some of the more popular treatments (from the popular culture version to the more academic approach) include Ferguson’s Bastards and Boneheads , Granatstein and Hillmer’s Prime Ministers: Ranking Canada’s Leaders , and Bliss’s Right Honourable Men . Bliss (xiv), the esteemed historian, is skeptical of such endeavours, “While this is Canadian history from Parliament Hill, I am not a Hegelian and I do not believe that political leaders, least of all prime ministers of Canada, are personifications of the world spirit.

In view of these complaints and on the advice we have received from the Department of Justice and Public Safety, I am writing to request that the Internal Auditors at Nalcor, on behalf of the Board, conduct an investigation into the allegations and provide this office with those findings.

Nalcor management personnel are also alleged to have been involved in some of these activities. I request that a report be provided to me within 60 days. This report should detail the investigation, findings, and actions Nalcor has taken to address its findings, including whether the actions are employment-related or mandate referral to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary or the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, as appropriate.

Research Consultant Sheila Tulk-Lane, B.A. Administrative Assistant 2017 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Premier’s Task Force on Improving Educational Outcomes wishes to acknowledge the support received from each of the government departments, especially those with youth serving mandates. The task force also acknowledges the participation of students, educators and the general public in the information gathering process. On cold winter nights people came to share their experiences and opinions in the belief that it would create change. We remember a mother who drove 45 minutes through freezing rain at night to tell about her experiences over fifteen years advocating on behalf of her son with autism who is graduating this year. “I know this won’t impact him but I hope it might help the next family that comes along.” Special thanks to: Eldred Barnes Paul Chancey Kim Christianson Lloyd Collins Don McDonald Chris Mercer Sharon Pippy Kerry Pope Scott Rideout Anne Marie Rose QC Bonita Ryan Ross Tansley Jim Tuff Sheila Tulk-Lane We extend sincere appreciation to Charlotte Strong. Charlotte’s passion for learning was a constant reminder of the importance of striving to improve educational outcomes for every child in this province. We will each say that having the opportunity to work with her will remain a highlight of our careers.

  • Quebec-Newfoundland and Labrador's Relationship Valérie
    Uneasy Neighbours: Quebec-Newfoundland and Labrador's Relationship Valérie Vézina Faculty, Political Science Kwantlen Polytechnic University [email protected] Note: This is a work in progress. Please do not cite without the permission of the author. Newfoundland and Labrador only has one direct territorial contact with another province: Quebec. The harsh and often unwelcoming territory of Labrador has been the centre of the animosity between the two provinces. In the recent Supreme Court ruling regarding Churchill Falls, the Court, in a 7-1 decision, ruled that Quebec had no obligation to renegotiate the contract. Despite the reassuring words of the Newfoundland and Labrador Premier, Dwight Ball, that the two provinces have much more to gain collaborating and that he would do so with Quebec Premier, François Legault, the general comments in both provinces by citizens does not tend towards collaboration and friendship. Why is that so? What are the factors that have contributed in the past to so many tensions between the two neighbours? What contributes today to such feelings among the public despite the willingness of political actors to move on, to develop partnerships? This paper will explore these questions. It will be revealed that 'historical' collective memories as well as cultural products (songs, humour, slogans) have helped perpetuating an uneasy relationship among Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador. Resentment can be an individual emotion, an anger felt towards a perceived injustice. However, as Stockdale (2013) argues, resentment is certainly individual but can also be collective. She demonstrates that "the reasons for resentment in cases of broader social and political resentments will often be tied to social vulnerability and experiences of injustice." (Stockdale, 2013: 5) Furthermore, "collective resentment is resentment that is felt and expressed by individuals in response to a perceived threat to a collective to which they belong.

  • A History of Hydroelectric Development in Labrador's
    Royal Commission on Renewing and Strengthening Our Place in Canada Power Politics and Questions of Political Will: A History of Hydroelectric Development in Labrador’s Churchill River Basin, 1949-2002 By: Cleo Research Associates/ Jason L. Churchill, Principal March 2003 The views expressed herein are solely those of the author and do not necessarily refl ect those of the Royal Commission on Renewing and Strengthening Our Place in Canada Power Politics and Questions of Political Will: A History of Hydroelectric Development in Labrador’s Churchill River Basin, 1949-2002 Abstract This report studies the history of attempts to develop Labrador’s hydroelectricity from 1949 to 2002, analyses the information, and draws three main lessons from that history. Firstly, Newfoundland has not been able to match Hydro-Quebec’s direct and indirect infl uence in the energy markets. Secondly, the Quebec utility, when directly suited to its immediate needs, has proven sensitive to Newfoundland’s demands for redress of the 1969 Churchill Falls contract. Thirdly, there has been a substratum shift in the North American energy markets, which has created new opportunities. The report then gives a detailed assessment of federal passive and active participation in issues related to hydroelectric development in Labrador. It concludes by making specifi c recommendations arguing that more effort has to go into capitalising upon the new opportunities in the North American energy markets.

St. John’s: Creative Publishers, 2016. isbn 978-1-77103-081-6 The cottage industry of Newfoundland and Labrador political writ- ings is a very small but passionate market. Every so often, one of the local presses publishes a work that fulfills a broader purpose of being both entertaining and of historic value. The splendidly namedTurmoil, as Usual is one such book. Turmoil, as Usual is a fun, easy read while simultaneously acting as a repository of information. James McLeod is a Telegram reporter who has been covering the province’s political scene since 2011. The book, his first, is a compendium of events that transpired between2012 and 2015, a tumultuous period resulting from a leadership vacuum after populist Danny Williams retired as Progressive Conservative Party leader and Premier. The politicking that McLeod describes would be laughable if it were not such strong evidence of the elitist and anti- quated nature of Newfoundland democracy. It is only by living through the political instability of that time that one can truly appreciate its absurdity. The list of events is too long to get into here.
