Media Advisory - Panel Discussion: Transparency and the right to know how our money is spent

ST. JOHN'S, Nov. 14, 2018 /CNW/ - Please join us for a public panel discussion on November 14, 2018. Hear more about the call for public accountability legislation in Newfoundland and Labrador and improved disclosure rules for the procurement of public services and infrastructure.

LOCATION:	Delta St. John's, Salon FG
TIME:	6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Wednesday, November 14, 2018
PANELISTS:
	Keith Reynolds, Policy Analyst with the Columbia Institute Govind Rao, CUPE Research Representative, Atlantic Region Allison Coffin, Economist, Memorial University

Moderated by journalist Drew Brown, contributor to CBC NL, The Guardian, The Independent, Vice Magazine, and others.

A more transparent and cost-effective approach to public procurement will ensure we can afford all the hospitals, highways, education, long term care and other public services we rely on.

Newfoundlanders and Labradorians should demand new disclosure requirements and reporting standards for P3 contracts. There should be no secrets when public money is spent on public infrastructure and services.
