Conflict of Interest in Nalcor Appointments?

The appointment of 4 people today to the Boards of Nalcor and Hydro must now be examined.

What is the relationship of any of these individuals to any MHA or Member of Cabinet?

How can one appoint a currently serving politician to a Crown Corporation?

What are the potential or perceived conflicts of interest?

What are the direct experience levels of these individuals in the field of energy both renewable and non-renewable and also in the area of billion dollar corporations?

Does this essentially mean that they are talking heads for the government?

What are the bylaws outlining the responsibilities of the Board of Directors for these crown companies?

Does the Premier believe that these appointments represent the best expertise available to fill the Boards at such a crucial period?

These are reasonable questions and they deserve answers.
