Blaine Higgs also reacted to Kevin Vickers' announcement re: balancing the books.
He says because he doesn't have any new taxes/tax increases planned -- he plans to rely on economic gains. So - can't promise a timeline until he knows more about the recovery in NB.
Higgs says the PC's platform is based on their budget presented in March.
He mentions 5G network was one commitment that they're still having to look into...possible options, mentions Starlink.
Now: Greens on renewable energy. He’s making this announcement outside a home with solar panels...same spot, similar announcement as election campaign two years ago. #Nbpoli
Green Party pledges to mandate NB Power to use 100% renewable energy sources by 2035.
Liberals in Saint John announcing “a wholesale pricing policy for restaurants and bars for liquor purchases in order to help an industry struggling to rebound from the impact of the current pandemic.”
They say it would be similar to other policies existing in Canada. #nbpoli
