McKenna Calls Energy Projects Huge Potential For NB

Former Premier Frank McKenna says at this single moment in our history where times seem to be the worst there is probably more hope than he's seen in a long long time.

McKenna speaking on energy matters to a sold out audience of 550 people at a Board of Trade luncheon at the Delta today.

McKenna says we have an incredible opportunity presented by a potential West-East pipeline, shale gas and converting Canaport LNG to an export facility.

He says Saint John just happens to be in the right place at the right time with a great port, a great refinery and a great gas resource.
