As I'm sure you know, there are many reasons why a contract or certain provisions of a contract might be found void: unconsiability, inconsistency with the Human Rights Code or Laboir Standards Act, etc.

Of course, the PPAs don't appear to be contracts, at least in the ordinary sense. And they likely raise certain public law issues as well. I Truly don't knowhow much merit there is to the Province's claim or position. I'm glad that we have so many experienced lawyers on CalgaryPuck who are so confident that they do know.
