The very survival of New Brunswick?s manufacturing sector is now at risk.

We are at risk of losing some manufacturing, but the biggest risk is we won't get any expansion of current manufacturing. You're not solving the problem. You're just moving the greenhouse gases to another location.

One of these days, we're going to see an increase in non-farm payrolls for the manufacturing sector.

It would actually re-emphasize the South as a new manufacturing area for automotive companies.

This should be an indication of the seriousness of the situation. This is not a typical thing for industry to step up and speak to their operations in this fashion. It's a serious situation.

Clearly, this is a part of the state that is doing really well right now, in terms of manufacturing and just about every thing else.
