The MLA for Queens took a shot at the Liberals and Conservatives this week for their stance on the NDP’s plan for Bowater Mersey. New Democrat Vicki Conrad says their opposition to the $50 million dollar deal won’t be forgotten by the people of the South Shore. Conrad made the comments after Liberal MLA Manning MacDonald called the pulp and paper industry a “dinosaur industry” during question period. Hundreds of families in Queens, Lunenburg, Shelburne, Digby, Annapolis and Halifax depend on the mill for their livelihood. The life-line from the NDP earlier this month assures the mill will remain in operation for at least five years.
