Finding Minister Keir's comment amusing, Rothesay Conservative MLA Margaret Ann Blaney tells us, there is a good reason why David Alward did not attend the party's open forums on energy.
She says there are two capable and knowledgeable people running the summits.
She also says he has taken part in her door to door campaign and has been in every corner of the province.
Blaney believes Minister Keir is running scared and that is what prompted the comment.
Is Conservative Leader David Alward in hiding?
Energy Minister Jack Keir believes the party has been keeping him under wraps and wants to know why he hasn't been front and center to discuss the issues.
One of them is energy and Keir tells us, the Liberal Government has taken steps to protect the assets of NB Power and it rate-payers.
Keir adds Alward didn't even bother to show for his party's open house forums recently to discuss energy.

A Conservative promise to remove the toll on the Grand Manan ferry if elected to power next month has left the MLA for the area shaking his head.
Rick Doucett tells us, with no public consultation on the matter with Mayor and council or the operator of the ferry, he believes this idea was put together on the back of a napkin.
Doucett adds the Conservative proposal will cost roughly two and a half million dollars which means a ferry run would have to be lost.
Alward says it's the only ferry service of its kind in the province that charges a toll and it's unfair to island residents.
