At hearings in Ottawa on Wednesday, the head of the Canada Infrastructure Bank refused to state the interest rate on the $206-million loan to a wind farm project that’s being managed by a company owned by the family members of three former Liberal MPs and a former Nova Scotia Liberal Party leader.
The examination of the deal by the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities was launched after The Chronicle Herald revealed that Roswall Development Inc., parent company to Renewall Energy, which will be selling the power from the Mersey River wind project, has deep Liberal connections.
