Once It's Gone, It's Gone


[Former Conservative Energy Minister Jeannott Volpe]

Former Conservative Energy Minister Jeannott Volpe says he doesn't think the Graham government understands the impact of the propsed NB Power sale.
Volpe says once this the utilitys assets are sold, there is no getting them back, and before the sale is completed more discussion needs to happen.
He says at a recent Edmunston Chamber of Commerce meeting, a liberal M-L-A didn't seem to have many answers.
Volpe says this is a long term deal removing the options from New Brunswickers in the future. He says Hydro Quebec will be able to set the market price for energy, and residents will have no other option.
