Pride goes before a privatization

The Word of Our Dan, yesterday:

We have also gone to - looked at Manitoba Hydro. We have gone to Denmark, we have gone to Norway. We are even looking at corporations like Petrobras and Statoil, of course, in Norway. So what we have done is, we have looked at all of these regimes and we want to make sure that we put the best regime in place here that safeguards the interests of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador but allows us to build one of the best corporations in the world. That is really what our goal is here, to make sure that the new energy company, which has yet to have a new name or a new brand, is the very best that it can be so that it brings the very best possible returns to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and becomes an asset ...that we, as people of Newfoundland and Labrador, can be truly proud of.

And then sell.
