Unlike other witnesses who have carefully considered their
words when it came to critcizing Nalcor and its leadership, Mullaley
didn’t pull any punches, and the target for her frustration was clearly
Ed Martin, the former Nalcor CEO who left under a cloud of controversy
in 2016.

Martin was the project “gatekeeper,” and largely
responsible for providing information to government, which is the 100
per cent shareholder of Crown corporation Nalcor Energy.

But
there’s growing evidence that Martin, likely based on the argument that
the information was commercially sensitive, was very selective in the
amount of information shared with government — especially in relation to
cost estimates.
