Companies Will Not Participate In EUB Hearing On Enbridge Gas

Ganong Brothers, Atlantic Wallboard and Flakeboard will not be participating in the Energy and Utilities Board hearing next month on an application by Enbridge Gas to increase its delivery charge.  The companies all believes the Enbridge Gas monopoly is broken and legislators must act.  Atlantic Wallboard spokesperson Mary Keith tells CHSJ News since the year 2000 when Enbridge Gas first began operation customers have seen a 500 per cent increase in the delivery cost. She says New Brunswickers today are paying twice as much for the delivery of the gas than they are for the gas itself.
Keith adds it's like saying it will be ten dollars for the pizza and 20 dollars for the delivery.
