New Brunswickers will find out Thursday how much of a poker face Prime Minister Mark Carney has.
During a visit to Fredericton on Monday, the prime minister smiled broadly — and cocked his head as if about to reveal a secret — when he was asked why the proposed Sisson Mine wasn’t on his initial “projects of national interest” list released in September.
Carney said more projects would be added on Thursday, including one from the province.
“I’ve had a number of conversations with the premier about major projects here that meet the criteria,” he said.
