Dear Mr. Graydon

As a resident of New Brunswick I was appalled to discover that our government has decided unilaterally to sell some of the major assets of New Brunswick Power after promising in their election platform not to. I believe, after reviewing all of the details available on-line, in the news and that provided by our government, that this sale will have disastrous and irrevocable consequences to the future of New Brunswick.

I further think that not only is more time is required to consider the details of this sale, but that its sale should be decided by the people of New Brunswick, and not sold unilaterally by this government.

I therefore beg Her Majesties representative in the province of New Brunswick to prorogue its Legislature so that through an election, its people can decide on what course our future, and that of our children will take.

    • Mr. Graham promised voters he would not sell the crown asset, NB Power. His government was without economic, environmental and energy policies in which to frame such a proposal. He neither called for tenders, nor consulted with... See More his cabinet and caucus. He neither equipped nor educated his caucus, nor did he permit them to explain to their constituents the proposal to sell. He offered no adequate explanation for the deadline for closing. And, finally, he did nothing to dispel the perception that this agenda was not undertaken in the time-tested processes of developing public policy, which only contributed to the generally held perception that this lack of public policy resulted in the project being directed by non-elected persons in various corporate boardrooms -- where some principles involved may be perceived to have conflicts of interest, owing to their vested interests in banking, construction, energy and legal firms.
