The Energy Minister does not disagree with Opposition Critic Bruce Fitch and his view that is was not a mistake to separate NB Power into 5 separate companies back in 2005.
Jack Keir tells CHSJ News it may have been the right thing to do at the time but, the right thing to do now is to put it back together.
He says the first reason for separating the companies was so the private sector could come and compete with them individually which never happened.
Keir says the second reason was to sell off assetts and he says his government heard loud and clear this past winter people in the province do want them doing that.
