Keith Steeves CFO of NAL Resources, tells CHSJ News, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers are expecting the gas industry will create over 300,000 jobs across Canada. He says this is expected over the next 25 years.
"There's tremendous amount of spinoff from energy type drilling services," he says. Adding that about 400 people are involved with the drilling of a well.
Steeves points out that he's not speaking from a political stance, but he expects shale gas development would create many jobs in New Brunswick.
