Power restoration update; budget reveal moved due to ongoing efforts

There are still New Brunswickers without power as the post-storm cleanup continues.  Most people are in the Acadian Peninsula, with the army having members there to help out.  Premier Brian Gallant says the provincial budget will now be announced next week instead of today due to this.

The Red Cross is taking donations for those affected by the ice storm.  The province has asked it to see what people need most, including replacing spoiled food.  Shelters are already being managed in Shippagan, Caraquet and Bas-Caraquet, with other supplies elsewhere.
