The Energy Minister has several questions about a move to freeze utility rates.
Jack Keir wants to know if the Conservatives consulted with anyone from NB Power about this promise with the exception of retired utility employee's like Darryl Bishop who Keir wonders why never brought forward these points about how profitable the utility could be when he worked for it.
Keir also wonders if David Alward factored in the deferral account set up for replacement electricity during the refit at Point Lepreau.
When the plant goes back on line, $400 million dollars has to be paid back as part of the contract.
