Premier Tony Wakeham has written to former premier Andrew Furey to request access to the 2041 Churchill River Management Expert Panel Report.

Wakeham says that report cannot be released to him as it was classified as a cabinet document by the former administration.

However, he has received advice from government officials that Furey has the authority to give consent for him to have the document released.

Wakeham calls the report a “record of cabinet confidence of the former government and contains information that could be helpful” with the upcoming independent review.

Wakeham argues that access to that information is “essential” as they move forward in the process.
