With the tab growing at one million dollars a day for replacement power at Point Lepreau, the Energy Minister says negotiations with Ottawa continue to pick up the tab for replacement power.

Jack Keir tells CHSJ News, he met with MP Keith Ashfield late Friday night and Ottawa is still reviewing the file.


Our news-room asked Minister Keir if this issue could cost the Liberal Party re-election in the Provincial vote next month and he says he doesn't see how the Graham Government can be pinned down when it was the Conservative Party that signed the contract which put all cost responsibilities on the Provincial Government.
