Premier Under Fire Over Power Outages

Premier David Alward is being accused of not having an emergency plan in place to help those who had to go without power for several days and the only piece of advice was to "hunker down". 

The accusation is being levelled by the Liberal M-L-A for Charlotte-The Isles Rick Doucet who tells CHSJ News people were left to pick up the pieces on their own.

Doucet points out back in April of 2011, the Premier promised a two year project that would develop a comprehensive emergency plan but, to date, no one has seen it. The pledge was made in the aftermath of the devastating floods that took place in Charlotte County during December of 2010.


Doucet says the people in his riding are upset.
