(Conservative Leader David
Alward)
Conservative Leader David Alward says he isn't shocked that a report on the proposed sale of N-B Power to Hydro-Quebec isn't ready. An independent advisory panel tasked with providing advice says it needs more time to understand the complex deal. Alward says we have a committee that is very much sitting behind closed doors and isn't hearing from everyone in the Province which is nothing short of a disappointment.
Alward is calling for an all party committee of the Legislature that is hearing from all sides of the argument. Chairman David Ganong says it will likely be the end of the month before the panel releases its report.
