The Natural Resources Critic for the Liberals Denis Landry wants to know if any request has been made to have a referendum on fracking in the province.Landry says M-L-A Kirk MacDonald promised to ask the premier but no one's heard what the outcome was. Landry tells CHSJ News shale gas is the ideal subject to have a referendum on.
Landry says people are really concerned about their drinking water and the quality of the air they're breathing.
He argues if the public wants a referendum the government should go with it because when the province was talking about uranium activities a few years ago, Alward and other Conservative MLAs voted for a referendum and the issue of shale gas exploration is just as important to the province today as uranium activities were back then.
