Liberal MLA Criticizes Job Losses

The Opposition Critic for Training and Labour Chris Collins says the province is losing jobs at an alarming rate.  New figures from Statistics Canada shows New Brunswick losing 12-thousand full time jobs since August of last year.   Collins tells CHSJ News he wants to see Premier David Alward set a job creation target.

He says this government has been caught napping with these numbers and he adds they do not have a job number target or a method for achieving that target.

He says the only thing the Alward government has done was create Invest NB. But Collins says that will only add another layer of red tape to job creation.
