The M-L-A in Charlotte County, Rick Doucet tells CHSJ News the cost overruns prove the Alward Conservatives can't stand up to the federal government.
A memo prepared for the Prime Minister's office estimates the refurbishment could wind up costing 3.3 billion dollars, almost a billion dollars more than previously estimated.
He says it's like the tax increase on July 1st adding the government is crafty by withholding the whole story from taxpayers.
Doucette says we won't see rates increase to cover NB Power's debt until after April of 2015, long past the next provincial election.
