The Liberals are proposing an incentive programme to persuade small and medium sized businesses to switch over to more efficient lighting. Jack Keir, who was the Energy Minister when the election was called, says it will cost 8 million dollars over 4 years.
Keir says the province would pick up 80 per cent of the cost of converting and he estimates the average yearly savings in energy costs will amount to around 400 dollars.
Provincial Conservative Leader David Alward, meantime, is promising to create a Pension Protection Task Force to review current pension laws and make sure workers in the province are protected.
