Brian Peckford

I say I grew up around it, but, uh, on Bell Island, like, I go back to the days of, you know, Jim McGrath.

I did work for Bill Doody, who ran against Brian Peckford for the leadership of the PC Party, and he was the heir apparent.

But he was a different...

You know, Peckford had more energy, was outgoing, this type of thing.

And the whole principle that Mr. Wakeham should have been negotiating on, and which, in fact, he said he was negotiating on, was the idea that we who own the resource should be, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians, the principal beneficiary of that resource.

That was a principle that Premier Brian Peckford established back in the day when Prime Minister Mulroney was the Prime Minister of the country back in the 80s.

He fought that battle and he won it because it was enshrined in the Atlantic Accord and received legislative approval in the Parliament of Canada and in the legislature of Newfoundland and Labrador.

In other words, principal beneficiary of the resource.

Bye.

Yeah, former Green Bay MAJ, conservative MAJ, PC MAJ back in the day, under Premier Brian Peckford as well as his chief of staff.

Okay, take that break.

Coming back, we've got Tom, Eugene, Ken, anonymous caller, and Ryan.
