Premier-elect Tony Wakeham maintains that he will not be “rushed into any artificial deadline imposed by …Quebec” as it relates to the MOU.

During his concession speech last night, outgoing premier John Hogan urged the PCs to “stay the course” when it comes to those contracts.

During the campaign, Wakeham promised an independent analysis of the MOU and a referendum on the issue.

Wakeham stands by that commitment, saying the MOU should not be a political decision.

“And I’m going to make sure that whatever deal we sign is in (the) best interest (of the people of the province). And I’m not simply prepared to sign up for another 50 plus years. I think we need to do that independent analysis, that independent review, and then I’m willing to negotiate with anyone. That’s the challenge.”
