MLI’s Managing Director, Brian Lee Crowley, appears in today’s editorial pages of the Edmonton Journal in an op ed that asks the important question: Who pays when provinces misbehave?
The Journal article makes timely reference to MLI’s recently-released MLI Commentary, AbitibiBowater, Democracy and the Public Interest. That Commentary succinctly pointed out that mechanisms are needed to protect all Canadian taxpayers from vexatious provincial actions. Precisely the type of protections that did not exist to protect us from the actions of the Danny Williams decisions with respect to Abitibi Bowater in 2008.
