The New Brunswick Federation of
Labour is calling for a moratorium on all shale gas development until
environmental, safety and health concerns are satisfied.
Labour Federation President
Patrick Colford tells Tide News doesn't see a lot of jobs being created by shale
gas.
Colford
also questions how many local people will be hired because he claims not a lot
were when SWN Resources was doing its seismic testing a few months ago. He also
says there should be no fracking until the First Nations give their consent to
it being done on their traditional lands.
