Courtesy of CBC’s provincial affairs reporter comes an explanation of why the local press gallery did not report Danny Williams “sell it off and pay off the debt” comment.
Seems the Premier did not actually mean to say he would sell off the provincial energy corporation in order to pay off the public debt.
Rather, the Premier explained that he meant to say he would sell off all the assets of the provincial energy company to pay the debt off.
Oh.
So glad that got cleared up.
For a second there it looked like he said he would sell of the company to pay off the province’s debt.
Apparently what he really said was that he would sell of the company piece by piece to pay off the province’s debt.
Oh.
At least someone explained it.
