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.
The "or more unprofitable" language is definitely favourable to the industry side. However, I still can't imagine how it is improper. It isn't even particularly vague or ambiguous. Really don't see what the government can argue here.
