The Conservatives have tabled a motion in the Legislature asking the Graham Government to freeze any increase in energy rates. They want this set-up until after a referendum or election has been held. Leader David Alward says this needs to be done to assure every person in the Province they are protected while the NB Power – Hydro-Québec proposal is being debated.

Premier Graham claims the deal must be signed on or before March 31 in order to avoid an electricity rate increase of three per cent.
