I think that's a fair article.

   In fulling one’s leadership role one must walk a line and use appropriate language which emotes a certain   firmness and resoluteness   whilst avoiding inflammatory rhetoric /insinuations. No doubt, balancing this can prove very challenging to the most astute.   

 Most assuredly, Ms. Wynne’s ears have likely been ringing  from being on the receiving end  of  the word “squander”  (or similar )  by her critics (and perhaps her closest advisors ) regarding multiple issues, and thus perhaps that word has been closest on her tongue .

   Nevertheless, one wonders whether her expression of her frustration was deliberate or an unconscious attempt to sabotage the process, by possibly evoking the chiefs to overreact and thus shifting the blame of any potential further stalling/failures wholly or mostly upon the indigenous players involved. At the end of the day, she might have been more prudent /diplomatic/accurate by using the words  the words "We can not  allow the 2014 $1 billion committment to be squandered..."
