Whats so National about our Notional press? More Ontario spin on Hebron Ben Nevis.
The premier has stated time and time again the Hebron Ben Nevis negotiations are on a go forward basis which means any new negotiations won't be retroactive on Hibernia and White rose.
As for wanting a stake. There were three options given to the oil consortium of which Premier Williams wanted a minimum of two from the negotiations.
The Oil companies had a choice of two out of three to make a deal 1, a provincial equity stake in the oilfield, 2, a better royalty regime and or 3, a petrochemical processing plant in the province.
OK if ESSO n/Mobile is being so transparent and says all of the relevant information is available why not open the books? Note no mention of denial that they offered to open the books for auditing to corroberate their poor mouth.
Here is the Ontario/Bay street spin if not out right lies so as to line their own pockets because they are so tied up with the stock market and shares in ESSO n/Mobile.

Talk about muddying the waters and slandering NLians.
It's stuff like this that removes any doubts I may have about wanting to remain apart of Canada saddly.

But the latest spat is as much an attempt by the Newfoundland and Labrador Premier to bolster the province's arguments over another offshore project -- the proposed $3.5-billion to $5-billion Hebron Ben Nevis development -- as it is about luring more dollars from Hibernia, the Atlantic Coast's first offshore oil venture.
