The letter, dated May 12th, started with while he “genuinely appreciated the honour and opportunity to be of service to the province” it saddened him to resign.
Premier Tony Wakeham has released the resignation letter of Michael Wilson, former member of the Independent Churchill River Negotiation Oversight Panel. Wakeham says “Newfoundlanders and Labradorians deserve access to the information that informs decisions affecting our province,” and that he remains “committed to open and honest communication." The letter, dated May 12th, started with while he “genuinely appreciated the honour and opportunity to be of service to the province” it saddened him to resign. He detailed how there was a misunderstanding of the IOP scope between the parties to his contract; a disagreement with the Clerk as to how the IOP should deploy oversight mechanisms; and what he termed was an “inappropriate added responsibility not contained” in his contract. Wilson finished off the letter by saying his “decision to resign from the IOP was extremely difficult, however, he took some solace from the knowledge that others including the Premier, the Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology and the Clerk all recently resigned prior to the completion of the definitive agreements albeit for completely different and unrelated reasons.” In his view, he says “both the misunderstanding and differences of opinion are unfortunate.”
