By this fall, responsibility of what NB Power has planned and is doing could fall into the hands of the Energy and Utilities Board.


A proposal has been taken to cabinet to put the change in place by this fall.


Energy Minister Jack Keir tells CHSJ News, NB Power is on board with the proposal.


Keir says after hearing from several organizations telling government to stay out of the public utilities business, he is listening.


Keir admits government involvement in the public utility has caused some of it's problems.
