Board of Trade president Imelda Gilman says the business group won't be hearing from N-D-P leader Roger Duguay before Monday's provincial election.
Gilman tells CHSJ News they tried a number of times to come up with mutually acceptable dates - but - it wasn't to be -- however the party did offer up its finance critic.
She says the Board declined because the invitations were issued to the leaders of the parties.
Liberal leader Shawn Graham - People's Alliance leader Kris Austin - the Green Party's Jack MacDougall - and - Conservative leader David Alward have all appeared at Board functions over the past two weeks.
