Pat Finnigan, the MP for Miramichi Grand-Lake; hopes the government will add even more jobs to the pool of about 600 workers at the Miramichi pay centre.
Due to problems with the Phoenix payroll software system, which left 80 thousand public service staff with late or missing pay, Finnigan feels there are better things ahead for the pay centre staff.
Public Services and Procurement Minister Judy Foote, said that progress is being made, but it’s still a long road ahead.
Five communities will host public meetings to share concerns about the January Ice Storm that crippled parts of the province for 10 days.
The 90 minute public meetings will be held April 3rd to 6th in Tracadie, Bas-Caraquet, Lameque, Miramichi and Richibucto.
The meetings are part of the province’s review of the response to the ice storm which at it’s height knocked out power to 130-thousand-people.
A final report with recommendations is expected in July.
