If the Industry, Energy and Technology Minister had cleaned house at Nalcor immediately upon his arrival, we would have applauded him. No applause is necessary.
The public moans, again, over Nalcor’s
narcissistic leadership; a “runaway train” unbowed and unpunished.
How many successive years has it been; repetitious
and frustratingly undeserved bonuses given to Nalcor officials? Why is government
so deaf? How is it that no institution in the province possesses the capacity
to, at least, nudge them to change?
It seems Andrew Parsons knows not where to begin.
It is a far tougher job than the Justice Ministry, a place where rules abound, a
bevy of lawyers administer them and even make the political role routine.
Industry and Natural Resources is different. It requires personal energy, brains, creativity, boldness and above all leadership. The job has been vacant for a very long time.
