Saskatchewan’s 13 Conservative MP’s avoid answering BHP Billiton takeover question
Faced with controversy over a federal matter affecting
For more than two months now, the future of Potash Corporation of
Some time on November 3, 2010, federal Industry Minister Tony Clement is expected to rule on Australian mining giant BHP Billiton’s $38.6 billion hostile takeover bid of PotashCorp.
The Investment Canada Act, which Clement oversees, requires the government to review any acquisition of control by a foreign investor of a Canadian business with assets of $299-million or more. Under the Act, such a transaction requires approval from the minister and must be shown to be of “net benefit” to
The Saskatchewan Party government opposes the takeover. In an open letter published in several newspapers across the province on October 23, 2010, Premier Brad Wall cited the potential loss of revenue, jobs, and Canadian influence over a strategic resource as reasons for the decision.
It should be noted, however, that Wall was referring to “the current BHP Billiton takeover proposal.”
This brings back memories of the B.C.-Alberta Trade, Investment and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA) and Wall’s declaration on June 28, 2007, that a Saskatchewan Party government would not sign the pact “in its present form.” After he becoming premier, Wall signed the slightly different – and just as bad – New West Partnership Trade Agreement. Could something similar happen with BHP Billiton?
On October 21, 2010, Wall outlined the government’s official position in a speech to the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce at the Conexus Arts Centre in
According to the StarPhoenix, Energy and Resources Minister Bill Boyd and Enterprise Minister Jeremy Harrison [a former Tory MP] were in
On Tuesday evening, they met with the 13-member Saskatchewan Conservative caucus.
Reporter James Wood noted: ‘The MPs would not comment Tuesday evening following the meeting, providing only a written statement issued by Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz on behalf of Saskatchewan's federal caucus. Ritz would not be interviewed.
“I reminded all in attendance that the Harper government, while remaining very open to international investment, will not rubber stamp foreign investment as the previous Liberal governments did,” wrote Ritz.
Ritz said Clement continues to review the proposed acquisition and it will only be approved if it is of “net benefit” to
Who is Ritz trying to kid? According to Investment Canada records posted on the Industry Canada website, approximately 200 investment proposals (see list below) requiring review have been approved under the Investment Canada Act since the Harper Conservatives took office in late January 2006. How many of those were rubber-stamped?
Avoiding reporters seems to be a habit of
Wood apparently tried contacting Ritz and Blackstrap MP Lynne Yelich and Saskatchewan Tory caucus chair Ray Boughen on October 20, 2010, but his calls were not returned.
A one-line written statement from Ritz said the government was monitoring the situation closely and any decision will be made in the best interests of
And even when the odd MP does break from the pack and comment on something, they’re generally so careful with their words that it’s not worth reporting.
On October 26, 2010, an email was sent to all 13 Saskatchewan Conservative MP’s asking one simple question: ‘Do you support or oppose BHP Billiton’s takeover proposal.’
Although some responses were received, as of November 2, 2010, not one Saskatchewan Conservative MP has had the courage to answer the question.
The first to reply was Glenda Eimantas, the legislative assistant to Yorkton-Melville MP Garry Breitkreuz: “Thank you for your letter. I will ensure it is brought to Mr. Breitkreuz’s attention.”
The second reply came from Heather Kelly, the executive assistant to Palliser MP Ray Boughen: “I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your email. Please be assured that your correspondence will be brought to Mr. Boughen’s attention.”
The third and final response to be received on October 26, 2010, was from Vikki Ruby, an assistant to Saskatoon-Humboldt MP Brad Trost: “Thank you for your e-mail message. Due to the high volume of e-mail received, Mr. Trost wishes to identify & respond to those from his constituents.
“If you are a constituent and would like your correspondence identified as such, please re-send your original correspondence with your full mailing address.”
It would appear that Trost has absolutely no interest in hearing from anyone outside his riding – no matter how important the subject.
The next to respond was Saskatoon-Wanuskewin MP Maurice Vellacott on October 27, 2010: “I appreciate your input on this very important matter.
“We continue to monitor this situation closely and any decision made will be in the best interests of
“Any acquisition by a foreign investor of a Canadian business with assets of $299 million or more is automatically subject to review under the Investment Canada Act.
“The Minister of Industry only approves applications for review where an investment demonstrates that it will provide a net benefit to Canada.
“The review process is rigorous, involving consultations with affected provinces, territories and other key stake holders.
“Thanks again for taking the time to write in on this key issue affecting the future of our province and country.”
The email that was sent to Vellacott was not to provide input, but ask an important question, one that he completely ignored. If anything, at least Vellacott understands that potash is a “key issue” that affects the province and the country.
The second email received that day was from Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar MP Kelly Block: “Thank you for your correspondence. Your message is important, and I would like to get back to you as soon as possible.
“Due to the high volume of e-mail that my office receives, a full response may take up to two weeks.
“If your enquiry is technical in nature it may require research which would further delay a response.
“Your patience in this regard is greatly appreciated.”
Block’s email reads like a cheap form letter. In the time it took it send the message, a simple yes or no answer to the question could have been provided. In two short years as an MP, Block seems to have mastered the art of not saying anything publicly unless it’s scripted as part of a photo opportunity.
And finally, on November 2, 2010, a follow-up reply from Yorkton-Melville MP Garry Breitkreuz was received: “Thank you for your letter.
“The Government, while remaining very open to international investment, will not rubber stamp foreign investment as the previous Liberal governments did.
“This Government is looking for international investors who are good corporate citizens who honour their commitments, and who have a positive effect on the Canadian economy.
“The Minister of Industry continues to review BHP’s proposed acquisition of Potash Corporation and he will only approve this application if it is likely to be of net benefit to
Although Breitkreuz deserves credit for taking the time to respond, he avoided answering the question. In fact, all he did was regurgitate some of what his colleague Battlefords-Lloydminster MP Gerry Ritz told the media following their private meeting on October 26, 2010, with Saskatchewan Party cabinet ministers Bill Boyd and Jeremy Harrison.
For the record, the following Saskatchewan Conservative MP’s have so far failed to respond:
▪ Andrew Scheer, Regina-Qu’Appelle
▪ Gerry Ritz, Battlefords-Lloydminster
▪ Tom Lukiwski, Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre
▪ Ed Komarnicki, Souris-Moose Mountain
▪ Randy Hoback, Prince Albert
▪ Rob Clarke, Desnethé-Missinippi-Churchill River
▪ David Anderson, Cypress Hills-Grasslands
▪ Lynne Yelich, Blackstrap
Saskatchewan must surely have the weakest, least effective collection of MP’s in the country.
