As we wait for a letter of intent to be signed between the Province and nuclear power house Areva, a question has surfaced about the potential deal. Would the Liberals be this open about what is going on if it were not an election year? Energy Minister Jack Keir tells CHSJ News, he will not apologize for the timing and says there's no rush to finalise a deal because everyone has to be comfortable with the final outcome. He adds Areva has no concerns with the delays of the refit at Point Lepreau.
Keir says discussions with Areva actually started back in the winter here in Saint John and finished up last weekend in Florida.
