Why Gerry Reid isn't holding his breath on Hebron answers

Remember when Liberal leader Gerry Reid put 13 questions before Premier Danny Williams about the pending Hebron deal? (If you don't, you can read our coverage here.)

Well, the better part of two weeks later, Reid is still waiting for a reply from the premier's office. Indeed, he's still waiting for an acknowledgment that the letter was received.

The Liberals have been looking for specific details in the memorandum of understanding announced with fanfare last month. Those details include things such as royalty payments, job numbers and project timelines.

Williams has maintained he cannot release those details because of a confidentiality agreement.

However, the premier's office says a response will come before the Oct. 9 election.

So, will Reid get answers to all 13 of his questions?

Um - maybe not. The premier's office says Williams has committed to answer the letter, and that's all.
