New Brunswickers are uneasy about shale gas development -- that from a poll commissioned by the provincial Liberal party.
400 people were polled and 79 percent agreed when asked if they still worry about the environmental impacts of hydrofracking, even with regulations.
Meanwhile, 82 percent want shale gas development delayed until there is sufficient regulations to protect the environment.
Liberal Leader Victor Boudreau tells CHSJ News the results validates what he thought the popular opinion has been on shale gas.
He says the results were the same across the regions, gender, age, and income levels.
The Liberals continue to call for a moratorium until stronger regulations are in place.
