You covered the matter better the Crown Corp commonly known as the CBC
or the mindless wannabe “Journalist” who should have been prosecuted
under Sections 300 and 319 years ago?
Below other than my comment posted with the CBC domain are their words not mine
(FYI The Crown Corp blocks me about half the time while Chucky always
blocks me but thus his blogging buddy Andre Faust has not witin

Cathy Rogers hosts 1st pre-budget session, sees clash of ideas
Opinions on the consultations ranged from worthwhile to worthless
By Shane Fowler, CBC News Posted: Nov 17, 2016 6:24 AM AT
Finance Minister Cathy Rogers says giving the public the chance to
give feedback on how the province spends it’s money is important for
transparency and gaining new ideas. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
The Gallant government held the first of nine pre-budget consultations
in Fredericton Wednesday night and very little was agreed upon.
The small discussion groups, which included members of the public as
well as opposition parties, heard that the province should and
shouldn’t introduce a carbon tax, that schools should close and open,
and a myriad of views on highway tolls.
Despite the disagreement Finance Minister Cathy Rogers said she is a
supporter of the discussion format.
“I love this format,” said Rogers.
“It’s important because we need to continue the dialogue and give them
the opportunity to speak back into government about anything that
might be different or new because things change. Nothing stays the
same.”
More than 70 people attended the two-hour meeting.
The consultation comes just a day after the government announced the
provincial deficit is now projected to hit an eight-year low.
‘We really didn’t accomplish anything here tonight.’ – Jim Cougle
Several of the small groups in attendance agreed the province should
continue to stay the course when it comes to spending, while others
hoped the return of a balanced budget before the 2020-21 target set by
the government.
Rogers said while people are often quick to offer opinions on where to
spend money, they can also point to where the government should cut.
“I take that those seriously,” said Rogers.
“When I hear about simple efficiencies that we might not have
considered these are very important. So I’m looking forward to what
we’ll hear going forward.”
Critical citizens
There were criticisms about how much the government was spending in some areas.
Jim Cougle, who represented the group Save NB Now, said education is a
place where efficiencies can be made,
“There are apparently 72 schools that should be closed … They are at
under 50 per cent capacity, there’s no need to keep schools open that
are half full,” said Cougle.
Jim Cougle was critical of the public meet and stated he believes the
gatherings are simply for show and that government isn’t really
listening. (Shane Fowler)
Although he attended the meeting, Cougle said he is pessimistic about
the consultations.
“Government has never listened. They’re not going to listen,” said Cougle.
“We really didn’t accomplish anything here tonight.”
Others were more optimistic about the process.
Chris George, a student at the University of New Brunswick, said he
thought the session went really well.
“I thought it was open, transparent. Gave us an opportunity to have
feedback. I got to hear people,” said George.
“That’s the one thing with governance and politics is being able to
sit down with civil discourse and engage in conversation.”
Chris George, a University of New Brunswick graduate student, found
the public talks to be productive and necessary for the province’s
future. (Shane Fowler/CBC)
George said the long-term future of the province was the concern most
discussed in his group.
“We are looking at 50, or 100 years down the road,” said George.
“We’re looking at what the earth is telling us, what the climate is
telling us, industry, the economy. And we want to know how we can
adapt our ways of living and our lifestyles and cultures to meet our
needs and the needs of this society.”
The province will host eight more pre-budget consultations in
Florenceville, Moncton, Neguac, Balmoral, Bathurst, Edmundston, Saint
Andrews, before wrapping up in Saint John on Dec. 5.

names will appear with each submission to CBC/Radio-Canada’s online

One could thing about the Liebranos holding public consultations is
that people who are barred from the legislative buildings such as
Chucky Leblanc can meet the sneaky politicians across the street and
ask questions. Chucky proved that first thing this morning within his
blog the day after CBC finally admitted knowing of his latest arrest
by questionable Edmunston cops over a week ago.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/charles-leblanc-fredericton-police-libel-1.3853481
Whereas I am also barred from parliamentary properties (2 years before
Chucky was) and none of Premier Gallant’s minions will even speak to
me nor answer emails, methinks I will continue with my MO. I will
answer the Liebranos questions about money in writing byway of an
email. Then I will publish the aforesaid email within blog about a
lawsuit against the Crown about the illegal barring of a citizen from
the most important public buildings of all while on FIVE ballots
seeking a seat within. I will let the political cards fall where they
in Canada’s “Have Not Province” as I head back to court to argue the
Crown in Federal Court.

Why were they not able to give you the BOTTOM line? Seems like a god
questions to me. Why would they not take note of every suggestion like
you gave them? You do have great ideas. They the government should
hire you as a consultant from time to time. Guess they do not want
ideas where to cut and save
