Well....what is it? Who benefits? Why not just disclose what she knows?
She is playing politics just as much as Smith is, and its pretty obvious as to why. She/NDP have been backed into a corner. Politically is was a very shrewd move by UCP to make this an election issue whether you like the move or not.
Also I believe this had to be announced before tomorrow or it would have to be shelved til after May 29.
Its actually pretty fascinating to be a spectator to this whole thing.

Obviously she doesn't know what it is, or who benefits, hence "secret". Clearly there is more to the deal, becuase there is not any certainty.

That includes, said Notley, the secret financial details of who is on the hook for what in the deal involving the province, the City of Calgary and the owners of the Calgary Flames hockey team.
“It’s a confidential agreement between all three parties that outline additional financial exposure, additional financial obligations and opportunities for all three parties, including the potential of more exposure for the public and for taxpayers,” Notley said.
“People on my team were advised (about) that by officials today.
“When we asked for more detail (and) if we could get a copy of the agreement, we were told no. All parties have agreed that agreement must remain confidential for six to eight weeks.”

So, how can you have an agreement in principle if some of the big pieces are unknown? You are aiming blame at the wrong party, here.
How do we vote on this without the details?
