NB Power Employee Speaks Out on NB Power Sale of Assets

An employee with NB Power is calling the proposed deal between NB Power and Quebec Hydro that would result in the provincial utility's assets being sold off, a monopolization of the Eastern Seaboard power grid. Roger Stoddard is out on long term disability with the company and tells CHSJ News Hydro-Quebec will have the say on what goes on in our own energy corridor.

Stoddard also says employees within NB Power have been muzzled---and told not to say anything on the issue. Energy Minister Jack Keir says he is not aware of any such instructions.
