Premier Stephen McNeil says he and the other Atlantic premiers must work to find common ground as they develop an action plan on clean energy for the region.

The premiers met in Saint John yesterday and pledged to have their energy ministers put together a new Atlantic Clean Energy Partnership by this summer.
