Energy Minister Jack Keir hasn’t heard anything back from Ottawa yet about getting a mediation process to decide who should pay for the Point Lepreau overruns.
Keir made the request late last week after finding out the refurbishments were at least another year behind schedule.
Keir says this is about the million dollars a day that it’s costing New Brunswick rate payers right now as Atomic Energy of Canada works through its learning curve.
He asked federal cabinet ministers Christian Paradis and Keith Ashfield not to reject the proposal without thinking it through and says they both agreed to do that.
