Two years after the deal was announced, the Alberta government can't yet say what value taxpayers will get in return for an outstanding $42 million credit with the Turkish company.

Postmedia has acquired more than 1,200 pages of documents from AHS and Alberta Health related to the purchase of the imported drugs via freedom of information requests.

Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi said the deal shows the government is bad at business and inconsiderate of taxpayer dollars.
