PCs give shale gas development quiet go-ahead in Sussex area | CBC News
Higgs told reporters that his cabinet approved an order-in-council carving out an exception to a province-wide moratorium.
“We’ve

for business.”
Corridor Resources started extracting gas in the Sussex area since 1999 but halted new fracking after the Liberal government of Brian Gallant imposed its moratorium after the 2014 election.
