Collins, the Liberal M-L-A from Moncton, tells CHSJ news in the past two years the government has lost 1,500 jobs, whereas the previous government created that many. He says he sees young people leaving the province in droves to work elsewhere.
Collins believes the Alward government needs to make a plan by meeting with workers in various industries to figure out how to create jobs.
Last month unemployment rose in the province from 10% to 10.4%.
