The Saint John Board of Trade is throwing its support behind exploration of oil and natural gas deposits in the province.
Spokesman Patrick Beamish tells CHSJ News even though all the environmental impacts have not been fully examined, we should still move ahead and see exactly what kind of energy resources New Brunswick is sitting on.
Former Premier Frank McKenna will be speaking at a Board of Trade luncheon on Monday on potential shale gas development as well as the possibility of an West-East oil pipeline.
Protestors will gather on the sidewalk outside the Delta hotel to demonstrate against such development.
