The NDP Says Two Provincial Parties Both Got Money From Shale Gas Companies

The Province's NDP party says both the Liberals and Conservatives have accepted political donations from two shale gas companies working in New Brunswick.


The Province's NDP Leader Dominic Cardy tells CHSJ News he doesn't have a problem with the donations but, the party does support only accepting private donations.

Cardy says there is nothing illegal about it but it raises questions at a time when people are having trouble getting answers about the shale gas industry.  He says it's another reason why we need more transparent government.
Cardy wonders what these companies might want in return for their donations.
