Premier David Alward is laying out what the Conservatives' campaign strategy will be to win the byelection in Rothesay.
Alward says there will be no campaign promises made but he's denouncing the Liberals as a bunch of reckless tax and spenders who brought the province to the brink of bankruptcy while increasing the provincial debt by 50 per cent in four years.
Alward also accuses the Liberals of flip flopping on the issue of shale gas development pointing out it was the previous Graham Government that invited the industry in to the province.
Blaney did not attend the nomination meeting and when the Premier thanked her for her service, not everyone in the audience was clapping.
