What Harper got in writing

At the upcoming first ministers meeting, expect to hear the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador talk a lot about what he got in writing from Steve Harper.

What you won't hear the diminutive, dyspeptic Dannyboy say is what Harper got in writing from him:
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador is advocating...(3) comprehensive revenue coverage (which would include, in full, all renewable and non-renewable natural resources)... [Emphasis added]
Don't expect Williams to head for the parapets in defence of that one; which of course makes John Crosbie's observations all the more prescient.
