High in fibre, low in fat

Auditor General John Noseworthy's report on the province's $15-million play in a fibre optic network is out, and it does not make for the kind of reading that the campaign-bound Liberals had been hoping for.
Apart from ruling that Premier Danny Williams played no role in the contract, Noseworthy went so far as to rule that taxpayers are getting "good value" from the investment.
That doesn't mean Liberal leader Gerry Reid is satisfied. Williams, though, is thrilled. You can read their reactions in our news report, right here.
You can also listen to CBC Radio's Mike Rossiter interviewing Reid here; you can listen to Williams speaking with reporters outside Government House, just after officially calling the Oct. 9 election, right here.
Noseworthy's report, in full, is here, in PDF format.
