A man who did not run in the election this time around is scratching his head over what another independent review of the MOU would accomplish.

Perry Trimper, who won elections both as a Liberal and an independent, decided to sit this one out but still has his ear to the ground on the issues.

Premier-designate Tony Wakeham has promised additional scrutiny of the hydro deal between Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador as well as a plebiscite.

Trimper doesn’t want to see a situation where the perfect becomes the enemy of the good.

JP Morgan was seconded last winter to go through the MOU and take questions from MHAs.

“Seeking the holy grail of complete independence – I don’t believe it’s possible, or that it’s going to happen,” says Trimper, who represented central Labrador.

“We asked all the questions in the House back in January.”
