Provincial NDP leader Dominic Cardy says there should be a law making it a crime for M-L-A's to interfere with the awarding of road contracts which has been a longstanding tradition that even extends to who works on the roads.
Cardy has unveiled the Politics Free Tendering Act telling CHSJ News some companies have decided not to come to the province after being told it might be a good idea to do business with such and such because he's got connections to a certain cabinet minister.
He also argues this old style political way of conducting government affairs is a disincentive for New Brunswickers to start their own businesses.
