Liberal leader calls taxpayer defence of DSTN deal excuses
Liberal leader Stephen McNeil says comments by NDP cabinet ministers about the partially administration-Owned DSME Trenton facility over the past weekend are off the mark and are merely excuses.
"This united states governing gave DSME Trenton $60 million, Suggests McNeil. "In substitution for that money, We received a 49 per cent possession stake, 60 employment, 66 layoffs and a minister in charge who doesn't even understand the company's diversity plans,
McNeil says Justice Minister Ross Landry was wrong when he said the us govenment couldn't have predicted the impact the recession would have had on the company.
"Recessions drive the cost of common fuel and non-Renewables decrease, Tells me McNeil. "Whenever you do, The sales of renewables drops - this government should've known that. That's a risk that should have been clearly and definitively addressed in their business plan - it openly wasn't,
McNeil says energy minister Charlie Parker should be aware of better than to online advertising companies say DSME will expand into the Ontario market.
"DSME has been struggling locally because Ontario and Quebec, Two of the domestic markets, Have local content criteria that make accessing those markets complicated, Shows McNeil.

McNeil says Economic Development Minister Percy Paris has never laid out a business case to justify his continued confidence that DSME will submit.
Well Larrivee americans began in 2008 a full year before an NDP government came into place and two years before the DSME deal was hatched. The deal to convert Trenton into wind turbines was something the PC MLA representing Pictou Centre ran. As I recall old tories in your community were blaming Ross Landry for not funding the conversion. Problem with this entire saga is the Wind Turbine business has been in dire straits since the start of the Recession. Wind generators are highly subsidized and the people of Nova Scotia don't have the credit line to compete globally with a partner that has never produced a single unit. DSME bought the assets of the bankrupt turbine maker in america. The World's largest turbine maker representing 20 percent of all Turbines is being denied bailout funding by the the Danish government. Vestas gives 6 percent of the Danes annual GDP.
It certainly seems that both the Liberals lower Parties in Nova Scotia are still foreign to Investment in Pictou County.
For the first time in generations we have a Provincial Government who will genuinely invest for real reasons as opposed to POLITICAL, Aside from throwing a rink some scraps there was no investment in Pictou Centre. Because it was a safe Tory seat who will vote Tory regardless of what the Pictou Centre up until this Government was virtually ignored.
To have 20/20 vision into the forthcoming like McNeil Bailey ( Please gimme an opportunity) Profess to have built is just B/S. This Provincial Government is not perfect but they appear to be making decisions on merit. Ask her Pictou County if the Liberals and Tories were in power what attention would Pictou County receive? Based on their position on the Trenton Plant and past governments performing I think it would be none, How could either the Liberals Tories be suitable for Pictou County? Clearly their position on this shows they might not
