A recent conference on energy has the province's Conservation Council frowning.
A Task Force was established at the conference and Energy Minister Jack Keir says the goal is to get everyone in the community involved in the energy sector.
But David Thompson with the Conservation Council tells CHSJ News the Task Force only represents people who have profited at the expense of the province in the past.
He says he didn't hear about any poor people being at the conference, and the environmental network for the province wasn't invited.
There are 11 community and business leaders on the Task Force including:
Dale Knox...President and CEO of Tabufile Records Management
Mike Ashar...President of Irving Oil Operations
Jim Irving...President of J.D. Irving Limited
Andrew Dawson...Building and Construction Trades Department
Rayburn Doucet...President and CEO of the Port of Belledune
Daniel St. Onge
Gerry Pond...Representing the New Brunswick Poverty Reduction Plan
Leopold Pinet
Eddy Campbell...President of the University of New Brunswick
Clair LePage...Deputy Minister of Energy
Gaëtan Thomas...President and CEO of NB Power
