The argument is that the government improperly allowed the "or more unprofitable" language to be added, not that the escape clause itself is illegal.

Basically, what the NDP is saying is that if these contracts were profitable, and their changes to law caused them to become unprofitable, then the escape clause is valid. However, since they were (according to the NDP) already unprofitable, this means Notley and Hoffman can rape them all they want with no repercussions whatsoever.
