Cleary Speaks On Her Report





The Province's chief medical officer of health says strong measures to protect public health must be put in place before further development of a shale gas industry is allowed.

Dr. Eilish Cleary says while a successful shale gas industry can create greater prosperity for the cash-strapped province, money needs to be spent wisely to ensure there are programs and infrastructure to protect health.


The Opposition Liberals have called for a moratorium, but Cleary says that's a moot point because there's plenty of time to put protective measures in place before commercial development occurs.
