Statement from Irving Shipbuilding Inc. - Access to information request regarding the release of the Umbrella Agreement

HALIFAX, Oct. 16, 2012 /CNW/ - The judicial review application was filed by Irving Shipbuilding only because there was a very short window of time to review the Government's decision to release certain commercially sensitive portions of the Umbrella Agreement, and in the interest of taking sufficient time to review that decision, a judicial review application was filed before the time expired. Having now had sufficient time to review the Government's decision and the applicable text of the Umbrella Agreement to be released, Irving Shipbuilding has no issue with the release of the text and will be withdrawing its request for judicial review.
