No more giveaways? No! More giveaways!

In a press release on Friday, quoted by the Globe and Mail, the Premier says:

Our goal has been to ensure that Newfoundlanders and Labradorians are the main benefactors with respect to our natural resources, and that the development of Hebron maximizes benefits for the people of the province.

Memo to the Premier, and to clueless MHAs and highly-paid comms professionals throughout provgov: the benefactor is the one who gives stuff away.

The word you are looking for is beneficiary.
