Finance Minister Blaine Higgs was in the crowd at the UNB Energy talk with Frank McKenna.
He says the LNG was built when the shale gas potential didn't exist and he says now we are in strategic position having the only plant of its kind in Canada.
Higgs says when McKenna mentions that 25 other LNG export facilities are being considered in the US that means our time is now to convert that and get to market first.
Higgs is calling for more political cooperation in other areas like we saw with the pipeline project.
