The Premier says a six person independent advisory panel will look at the proposed energy deal with Hydro-Quebec. The individuals which include David Ganong and Elizabeth Weir will offer expert advice to the provincial government about whether the proposal is good for New Brunswickers.
Chairperson David Ganong tells CHSJ News he was very involved in the selection of the panel.
He says the goverment rejected some of the names he put forward and they rejected some his suggestions until they found a group they think can work together.
It also includes Alison McCain, John McLaughlin, Gilles Lepage and Louis Lapierre.
The panel will examine the proposal and submit a report to the premier by mid-January.
The report will be tabled in the Legislature sometime in the New Year.
