The Chair and CEO of the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum
Board (C-NLOPB) wishes to state that the C-NLOPB was not informed of the Provincial
Government’s decision to appoint Elizabeth Matthews to the Board until March 11, 2011.
This clarification is necessary because the Chair and CEO made reference to a provincial
vacancy when he presented at a luncheon for the Institute of Public Administration in
Canada (IPAC) on February 11, 2011. At that time, the C-NLOPB had not been
informed of government’s decision.
