The announcement by the Alward
Government of a long term plan for forestry has provincial Liberal leader Brian
Gallant questioning the timing.
Gallant is wondering why now and
why not a couple of years ago when the provincial economy needed a
boost.
Gallant speculates the timing has
more to do with a provincial election that will be held in late September or,
perhaps, to divert attention from the obstruction of justice trial now going on
of a senior official in the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture into the
investigation of Deputy Premier Paul Robichaud's brother for an aquaculture
violation.
