Social agencies are beginning to ask questions about the impact of the proposed sale of N-B Power to Hydro Quebec.
Energy Minister Jack Keir is suggesting it will benefit those living in poverty with lower power rates and new job creation opportunities.

Hatfield says various local agencies will have to start going over the proposed agreement more closely to determine the impact it will have on low income people.
