For the first time in many years, the Saint John Board of Trade inviting the Provincial NDP leader to come and speak to its members. Dominic Cardy hit many topics including education, small business and the energy sector.
Cardy tells CHSJ News the security is built in with the Energy East pipeline but the prospect of controlling a shale gas industry is another matter.

Irving Oil was on hand at the Delta luncheon today along with Port Saint John and Mayor Mel Norton.
