The economy not the only issue Prime Minister Harper was faced with during his visit to Saint John. Point Lepreau and the 18-month delay with the refit was front and center. Harper says Atomic Energy of Canada is being encouraged to finish this project as quickly as possible.
Harper adds the delay is costing a lot of money to both this Province and Ottawa. The Prime Minister met with Premier Graham and Energy Minister Jack Keir to discuss the issue. In a statement, the Premiers office says it presented its case to the federal government and the Prime Minister agreed to investigate the matter and respond to the Premier.
