Savoie, who was acclaimed without opposition, tells CHSJ News he knocked on every single door in the riding of Saint John Fundy and says most people realise tough decisions have to be made to turn around the provincial economy. He calls it short term pain for long term gain.
Savoie admits New Brunswick is in a precarious financial position but argues the Alward Government has controlled spending. Health Minister Ted Flemming is hoping to have saved 300 million dollars in healthcare spending by the time of next fall's election.
Savoie, a member of the Southern Regional Caucus, says they set three priorities.....A new "Y" in Crescent Valley, safe drinking water for the city along with more money for the Fundy Trail and all three were achieved.
