Nalcor Replies - Does not answer Question


As you are aware - my last post dealt with a simple email request for information to Nalcor.

I asked for: Please advise where I may find a copy of the bylaws outlining the responsibilities of the Board of Directors.

Up until this morning I had not received a reply.

I now have the reply:
    
Good day Ms. Kelland-Dyer,

For information regarding responsibilities of the Board of Directors, please see the Corporate Governance section of Nalcor's 2011 Business and Financial Report (pages 93-96).

Here is a link to the report: http://www.nalcorenergy.com/uploads/file/2011%20Nalcor%20Energy%20Business%20and%20Financial%20Report.pdf

Needless to say – I know there is an annual report and outside government and the corporation I probably have the largest collection of annual reports on the Corporation from the past 40 years.

So let’s try this again but this time – I will try to make it less simple and more complicated. Considering the corporation could not or would not answer the simple request – I will spruce it up.

This time the request is the following:

Under section 10 of both the the Hydro Corporation Act 2007 and the Energy Corporation Act

Hydro Corporation Act, 2007

10. The board may make by-laws

             (d)  respecting the duties and conduct of the directors and of the officers and employees of the board;
             (i)   generally, for the conduct and management of the affairs of the corporation.


Energy Corporation Act

      10. The board may make by-laws
          
             (d)  respecting the duties and conduct of the directors and of the officers and employees of the corporation;
              (i)  generally, for the conduct and management of the affairs of the corporation.

Please advise if the Board has made bylaws for both the Energy Corporation and the Hydro Corporation respecting subsections 10(d) and (i) of the respective acts.

If these bylaws exist please advise where I may see them.

If they do not please confirm and advise if the general statements found in the annual reports – under corporate governance – act as the sole guidance and literature to define the responsibilities of the Board of Directors. If not what other information exists regarding this matter?
