One of the first appointments made by Premier David Alward has been criticised as patronage with the Conservative Party's election campaign director, Daniel Allain taking over at NB Liquor with talk of a new business model which could involve selling it.
Alward defends the appointment, arguing Allain is well qualified and says more are coming.
The Conservatives were critical of Dana Clendenning, the former Executive Director of the provincial Liberal Party, when he held the same job as Allain at NB Liquor, accusing him of a conflict of interest.
