The Premier's new Energy Commission wants to hear from as many people as possible as it spends the next six months cobbling together a new energy policy for the province.
So claims one of the better known members of that Commission, the former Minister of Energy and Finance, Jennot Volpe.
He tells Tide News there's one key question on his mind going in and that is how can the Province be more efficient in producing power and set up the best model for both the Province and rate-payers.
Volpe is confident the problem of NB Power's debtload can be overcome. He maintains it was worse back in the early 90's after Belledune was built.
Looking To Settle Car Rental Dispute
(Former Saint John Fundy MLA Stuart Jamieson)
(File Photo)
Former Saint John Fundy M-L-A Stuart Jamieson says it's been a thorne in his side -- now -- it appears the province is trying to find a solution.
Jamieson tells Tide News car rental agencies have been using vehicles registered in Nova Scotia translating to a loss of revenue for the province.
A spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety tells us the province is confident a solution similar to what's in place for commercial vehicles will work -- that system sees the commercial vehicles registered in one jurisdiction with the registration revenues shared between provinces and states based on actual miles travelled in each jurisdiction based on company records.

Search For Answers On Missing Fishing Vessel

Graham Takes Aim At Alward
Premier Shawn Graham is on the attack -- Graham is going after Conservative leader David Alward for promising to study and consult on a number of issue instead of laying out concrete plans.

Graham says test results prove the changes his government implemented are working.
Meanwhile -- Graham is promising to implement an asset management strategy for health care facilities which will lead to automatic upgrades of medical equipment - a move he says will help attract more doctors to our province.
