Even though the Point Lepreau nuclear power plant is on the verge of generating power again, Premier David Alward has not given up the quest to get compensation from Atomic Energy of Canada for the billion dollars in cost overruns.
He calls it a high priority and brings the subject up whenever he meets with the Prime Minister.
When asked about the likelihood of Ottawa going along with compensating the province, Alward says he doesn’t answer hypothetical questions but the number one priority right now is to ensure Point Lepreau returns online without any more problems.
