Case Made Against Selling Off NB Power

There's alot of speculation about NB Liquor being sold to give the provincial government some much needed revenue. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is urging the Alward Government to do just that.

Martha Thompson, who's President of the union local representing liquor store workers, argues that would not be good for the economy in the long run because good paying jobs would be replaced by minimum wage ones with less disposable income to spend.
 
Thompson also claims the overall cost of doing business within the liquor corporation is among the best in the country.
