Provincial
NDP leader Dominic Cardy sees Premier David Alward's State of the
Province speech as a sign of desperation with so much being pinned on
the future of shale gas.
Cardy
tells CHSJ News you just have to check on what's happened since the
Premier's first State of the Province address back in 2011 with
unemployment levels up and would be a lot higher without all the
migration out west, the provincial debt has risen and the government has
not been able to get a handle on the deficit.
As
for the revitalisation of forestry, Cardy points out the province is
still losing tens of millions of dollars on its crown lands which is a
sign of incompetence so there's still a long way to go before that's
turned around.
Even though the New Brunswick economy is still struggling, Premier David Alward delivered a State of the Province address that's optimistic about the future.
He claims the government is revitalising forestry in the province with commitments to invest half a billion dollars in the upgrading of mills that will generate hundreds of new jobs.
The Premier also speaking strongly in favour for continued development of shale gas, claiming the oil and gas industry in the province could amount to more than 20 billion dollars and Corridor Resources is looking to drill new wells in the Sussex area. According to Alward, New Brunswick is viewed as a critical player in the global energy market.
He describes the shale gas protestors as a minority who will not derail the future development of the province.
