Shale Gas Still A Point Of Contention

There is no doubt in the mind of Provincial Finance Minister Blaine Higgs.......Shale gas development is essential to the future economic well being of the province. 

Not everyone agrees but Stephanie Merrill of the Conservation Council's Action Group on freshwater tells CHSJ News it appears to the Alward Government, it's an open and shut case.

Merrill claims there's research from the U.S. showing some counties are actually worse off after shale gas development. 

We have been promised the unveiling by Premier David Alward in the coming weeks of his government's bluepring for shale gas development.
