Delays at the Reactor at Point Lepreau aren't sitting well with Premier Graham

Delays in the major overhaul of the reactor at Point Lepreau aren't sitting well with Premier Graham -- neither is the fact Atomic Energy of Canada Limited has been dragging its feet in providing answers to questions about the project. Premier Graham says it appears A-E-C-L isn't focused.

Graham says he will be meeting with N-B Power top dog David Hay later this week to discuss the issue -- and -- he plans on bending the Prime Minister's ear to get the crown corporation to provide updated information. The Premier says A-E-C-L is responsible for covering the costs associated with the delays under the contract struck by the former Lord government.
