In an exchange during question period Wednesday, Wall confirmed no official offer is on the table but he said he believes such partnerships may help strengthen Crowns.

“We will keep control of the Crowns but we ought to be open to strengthening them with partnerships the kinds of which Premier Romanow advocated in 2000,” Wall argued.

But the NDP’s Warren McCall questioned whether the government is even in a position to move forward with this issue.
