Energy Minister Defends NB Power-Hydro-Quebec Proposal

Opposition attacks on the proposed sale of NB Power to Hydro Quebec are getting personal. Former Energy Minister Jennot Volpe compares the Premier to a child, accusing him of not understanding the significance of selling off NB Power's major assets. Provincial Energy Minister Jack Keir says it's easy to fear monger.

The problem, according to Keir, is what to do about NB Power's massive multi billion dollar debt.
