The Canadian Red Cross has arranged emergency ac-commodations, meals, and clothing for them. No one was hurt during the blaze. No word at this point on the cause.

Harper Visits Saint John

Prime Minister Stephen Harper will deliver his government's third economic report card in Saint John today. Harper's speech will be followed closely since his government is dealing with the largest budget deficit in Canadian history. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty says it will be more than five billion dollars higher than originally thought, to a projected 55.9 billion.
No matter what the update says, Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff says his party will introduce a non-confidence motion.

Alward on Point Lepreau

This is news that should concerns all tax-payers....that from Conservative Leader David Alward on the latest numbers on the Lepreau refit. It's 18 months behind schedule and isn't scheduled to go back on line until February 2011. Alward tells us, steps have to be taken to make sure rate-payers are not left shouldering the brunt of this blunder.
Alward says Energy Minister Jack Keir has a responsibility to manage his files and it's un-acceptable he tried to distance himself from it by saying he asked for answers and couldn't get any.
