New Brunswick opens review of fracking ban, citing U.S. trade war and gas-import reliance

Premier Susan Holt announced a five-month public review of New Brunswick's 2014 fracking moratorium, citing the Canada-U.S. trade war and the province's reliance on American natural gas via the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline. Holt, a career opponent of widespread fracking, framed the review as energy security. She was flanked by her Indigenous affairs and natural resources ministers.
