Paul Oram, the Self-explana-Tory

Paul Oral is appalled:

"Quite frankly, I'm appalled that someone would even make that comparison," he said. "We're talking about two separate issues altogether. What we released Friday was essentially information trying to reassure people that what I had said in the house of assembly was correct information. I was asked to release that information. I got the information together. I didn't want to sit on it. I wanted to get it out right away."

...

Oram said he didn't speak with the media last Friday because it wasn't necessary.

"It wasn't that I wasn't available," he told CBC News Monday. "I didn't see any point in commenting. I thought it was very, very self-explanatory that this is exactly what we had said, and what I had said, in the house of assembly."
