Premier David Alward and Provincial Liberal leader Brian Gallant clashing over shale gas.
Gallant
says the Conservatives are jumping ahead too fast without giving
enoough consideration to the effect on human health and the
environment.
He
points to a document from the Environmental Protection Agency in the
U.S. which talks about the potential hazards to human health of
fracking. He charges the Alward Government decided to press ahead
without giving due consideration to human health, the environment and
royalties.
The
Premier dismisses the Liberals as "the moratorium party", accusing them
of having no plan for growing the provincial economy.
