2018-2019 and my assistance to my friend Dr. Roger Richard

Good Day Roger,

Please feel free to file this email in order to support your
submission of a final argument tomorrow. Obviously I practiced the
spirit of full disclosure with many other parties just as I always do.

It is my opinion until the NBEUB finally reaches a decision on the
application by New Brunswick Power Corporation with respect to
proposed changes to its rate structure, rate classes and rate design.
(Matter No. 357) NB Power has no ethical reason whatsoever to put the
province deeper into debt in light of the fact that the meters already
in place are functioning just fine in order to meet its current
mandate.

Although I was illegally barred an Intervener in the 375 Matter I was
involved in the 357 Matter first much to the chagrin of NB Power, the
NBUB and their political overseers. Whereas I have received no notice
stating otherwise as far as I know I am still an Intervener in the 357
Matter which has been delayed for no reason I will ever understand
until after the upcoming provincial election.

Veritas Vincit

Keir announces members of new Energy and Utilities Board (07/01/31)

NB 121

Jan. 31, 2007

FREDERICTON (CNB) - Energy Minister Jack Keir today unveiled the
composition of the new Energy and Utilities Board, naming Raymond
Gorman of Saint John as the chairman of the board and Cyril Johnston
as vice-chairman.

The 10-member board replaces the former Public Utilities Board (PUB)

"I am very pleased with the experience that each of the members bring
to this new board," Keir said. "We have full confidence that the
Energy and Utilities Board, which will be in charge of examining some
very important issues in the years ahead, is in very capable hands."

The Energy and Utilities Board (EUB) is a quasi-judicial tribunal that
operates at arm's length from government and reports to the
legislature and Minister of Energy. It is tasked with regulating
sectors such as electricity, refined petroleum product pricing,
natural gas distribution, pipelines, and motor carriers.

Ray Gorman, a partner with the law firm Gorman Nason, represented the

hearings on rate increases and was also a former member of the PUB,
having served on the board for nine years. His term as chairman is for
10 years.

is for seven years.

Monique Imbeault was appointed as one of the eight part-time
commissioners of the board. She is an associate lawyer with McInnes
Cooper in Moncton who specialises in intellectual property, technology
law, corporate and commercial law and real estate.

Robert Radford of Moncton is a former president of the Moncton
Barristers Society who was the first chairman of the Region 1 Hospital
Corporation, and a former chairman of the Board of Trustees of the
Moncton Hospital.

Donald Barnett of Fredericton owns and operates a consulting firm that
specializes in the energy sector, and he is a former Assistant Deputy
Minister of the Department of Energy.

Jean-Jacques Roy, the president of Roy Consultants Group of Bathurst,
established the company in 1984. It is a multi-disciplinary consulting
and engineering firm located in the Chaleur region. Roy was named
Entrepreneur of the Year in 1991 by the Chaleur Regional Development
Commission and received the same honor in 1994 from the N.B. Economic
Council.

Wanita McGraw, a chartered accountant from Shippagan, works with the
firm of Losier, Doiron, Laroque & Benoit. She has experience teaching
accounting at the Atlantic School of Chartered Accountants as well as
at the Université de Moncton.

Edward McLean, of Saint John has worked with Connors Bros. Ltd. for 40
years, beginning as a student in the 1960s and culminating as
President and CEO in 2001. In 2005, McLean was inducted into the N.B.
Business Hall of Fame.

Steve Toner, the President and CEO of Timber Trusses Ltd. of Grand
Falls, Toner manages the manufacturing facilities of wood products for
international distribution. He has an engineering and business
background.

consulting including the design improvements for CANDU 6 reactors. His
former positions have included chief engineer and director of nuclear

to five years.

News Release Energy

 New NB Power board members appointed
30 November 2009

FREDERICTON (CNB) - The provincial government has reappointed two
persons to NB Power's board of directors and has appointed three
others to fill vacancies, effective immediately, Energy Minister Jack
Keir has announced.

Norm Betts and Shirley Mears have been reappointed; both have served
on the board since October 2004. Joining them will be the three new
appointees: David Ferguson, clerk of the executive council and
secretary to cabinet; John Mallory, deputy minister of finance; and
David Johnstone, deputy minister of transportation.

"I am confident that these board members will provide NB Power with
the required expertise as our government continues negotiations on our
proposed energy agreement with Hydro-Québec," said Keir. "It is the
intent of the New Brunswick government to finalize the proposed energy
agreement with Hydro-Québec by the end of this fiscal year. To help
guide this process and ensure it unfolds smoothly, Premier Shawn
Graham has asked the three senior civil servants to serve on the board
of the utility."

The new members fill vacancies being left following the expiration of
terms and resignations of board members.

Lise Caissie, has resigned due to a conflict of interest. Her employer
was acquired by NB Power's auditing firm, Ernst and Young.

Two members from outside New Brunswick, Patricia Merrin Best and
Graham Brown, have decided they will no longer serve on the board
following the end of their terms this fall, given the complex and
highly energized debate taking place over the proposed energy
agreement.

"I thank the three outgoing members for their tremendous commitment
and hard work on behalf of NB Power and the people of New Brunswick,"
Keir said. "I understand and respect their decision to no longer serve
on the board."

Exclusive: Premier Gallant hires former Energy minister Jack Keir to
top roleADAM HURAS Legislature Bureau

December 29, 2016

 Former Liberal Energy minister Jack Keir has been named Premier Brian
Gallant’s director of issues management.

A big part of the new job inside the premier’s office will see Keir as
an advisor to Gallant’s Chief of Staff Jordan O’Brien on issues in the
Saint John area.

He starts next week.

Keir was most recently the executive director of the Fundy Regional
Service Commission, as well as a board member with Enterprise Saint
John and a part of the Port City’s Living SJ movement to end
generational poverty.

But he’s arguably best known for his role in the Shawn Graham Liberal
government’s contentious attempt to sell NB Power.

Keir had said last year when stepping down from his role at the
service commission that he was looking forward to a quiet retirement
with time spent in the south.

“My plan was to ride off into the sunset, into retirement, and enjoy
Florida,” he said. “But it didn’t work out that way.

“I was approached by the premier and his staff saying ‘look, we need
some help in Saint John in driving some files, helping us out with
some issues’ and whether I would be interested in that.”

He added: “I love my city and I feel that I have got a skill set that
can help the minister [Saint John Harbour MLA Ed Doherty]. I want to
make sure that Saint John’s voice is heard around the senior
management table.”

The director of issues management position has been vacant since
former staffer Cyndi Jenkins took a position inside Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau’s office.

The roles comes with a pay band salary between $100,000 and $125,000.

Doherty said Keir’s work as co-chair of Living SJ is an asset.

“That’s been a very active group of business people who have worked
with Saint John Rothesay MP Wayne Long to come up with a unified
strategy for looking at the five vulnerable neighbourhoods of Saint
John,” Doherty said. “Also, Jack’s experience in terms of economic
development will be helpful.”

Keir said he already met with Saint John Mayor Don Darling.

 He listed poverty reduction, waterfront development, the Saint John
Field House campaign, and the region’s voice on healthcare and
education as priority areas.

Keir has a long history of public service.

He was a town councillor in Grand Bay in the 1990s.

Keir also served in executive positions on the Saint John Harbour
Bridge Authority and the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission.

He was elected an MLA for Fundy-River Valley in 2006 and was promoted
to cabinet.

That’s where, as Energy minister, Keir was infamously at the centre of
signing a memorandum of understanding to sell most of NB Power’s
assets to Hydro-Québec.

An image of Graham and his Quebec counterpart Jean Charest signing
that memorandum with Keir and Quebec cabinet minister Nathalie
Normandeau standing in the background was featured on television ads
by the David Alward Progressive Conservatives during the 2010
election.

The Graham government was ousted from power.

Keir lost his seat.

“I certainly learned my lesson and if you didn’t learn a lesson in
2010, well shame on you,” Keir said when reached on Thursday. “It was
pretty to me that folks in New Brunswick didn’t want anybody to go
near NB Power.

“I would certainly never recommend that to anybody.”

He added: “That file is history and is long gone now.”

But it’s a decision that has followed him.

“I was walking one day in my community in Florida and some guy stopped
his car and said ‘Are you Jack Keir? Are you the guy who tried to sell
NB Power?’” he said. “That’s part of my legacy good or bad.

“I’ve learned to live with that. But would I ever recommend to go down
that road? I would never do that. Not ever. It’s not about history
now, it’s about what can we do to move our city forward.”

The Progressive Conservative opposition did not comment on the
appointment when asked on Thursday.

Asked about Keir’s ties to the attempted NB Power sale, Doherty said
that didn’t play a role in the hire.

“I was part of that government, we learned from the people that it was
something that the citizens of New Brunswick did not want, and that
file is dead,” he said.
