An employee with NB Power is calling the proposed deal between NB Power and Quebec Hydro that would result in the provincial utility's assets being sold off, a monopolization of the Eastern Seaboard power grid. Roger Stoddard is out on long term disability with the company and tells CHSJ News Hydro-Quebec will have the say on what goes on in our own energy corridor.
Stoddard also says employees within NB Power have been muzzled---and told not to say anything on the issue. Energy Minister Jack Keir says he is not aware of any such instructions.
