David Thompson tells CHSJ News there needs to be a full public consultation about the proposed power lines for the Fundy Coast line, and what he calls "job bullying tactics" shouldn't come into play.
Thompson says the Conservation Council is not against the project as a whole, but they are against the power lines that are proposed for the Fundy Coast line.
He says no one was told about them in the original environmental assessment of the project that was done a year ago, and there are concerns about how vegetation around the poles will be maintained.
Thompson says people want the community to move forward in a progressive way and pitting jobs against the environment isn't the way to get things done.
