I'll wait to comment until we know the actual terms of settlement.

Note how the settlement seems to have been reached after the NDP threatened to retroactively change the law. By any measure that's dirty pool.

My guess at this point is the power companies need certainty to move forward and fighting a retroactive change in law would take 3 to 5 years and go to the SCC. They're in the business of power production not fighting corrupt governments.
