Premier Shawn Graham has named the members of a task force for keeping the blood services distribution centre in Saint John. Minister of Post Secondary Education, Donald Arseneault and Saint John Fundy MLA Stuart Jamieson will join opposition members Rothesay MLA Margaret-Ann Blaney and MLA for Tracadie Sheila Claude Landry.
The task force will meet with experts in the community along with Canadian Blood Services to have the decision to move the distribution centre to Halifax reversed. The task force is the result of a unanimous vote in the legislative assembly last week urging all levels of government to work together to preserve the CBS operations in Saint John.
