Conservative M-L-A Margaret-Ann Blaney says she can't help but notice the timing of Shawn Graham's Areva announcement.

She says this, like the NB Power-Hydro Quebec deal, was done behind closed doors.

Blaney says she'd like to know where Graham's Minister of Public Engagement was when they were having discussions with Areva because it doesn't seem like the public was consulted.

Blaney says they don't know enough about the deal to know if they'll keep it on the table if elected, but it looks like it could have a lot of value if it fits in with their energy plan.
