Former Provincial Cabinet Minister Contemplating Leadership Run

Former Provincial Cabinet Minister Kelly Lamrock calls himself a prospective Liberal leadership candidate while maintaining he hasn't made up his mind yet whether or not to run.

Lamrock has released some proposals to create jobs including a "One More Job" summit to help each of the province's 26 thousand small businesses add one more job.

Lamrock tells CHSJ News the previous Liberal Government, of which he was a member, got into trouble when it did such things as reducing taxes on the rich when it didn't make any financial sense to do so and attempting to sell NB Power, a public utility.

Despite that, Lamrock says he's proud of the role he played in reducing poverty and raising the literacy rate to 90 per cent from the lowest in the country.
