Acting Minister of Economic and Rural Development and Tourism, John MacDonell today, Sept. 14, welcomed news that Projex, a Calgary-based engineering firm, will open an Atlantic office in Halifax.

"I'm so pleased Projex has recognized the talent of our workforce and Nova Scotia as a great place to do business," said Mr. MacDonell. "On behalf of the province, I'd like to welcome Projex to Nova Scotia."

The firm, which specializes in the energy sector, will create 15 local jobs when it opens its doors at the beginning of October, including electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, piping designers, structural designers, instrumentation and control engineers and document control technicians.

The company hopes to have 50 to 150 full-time positions available by 2012.

What a inept bunch of politicians we keep electing in this province, or should I say a corrupt bunch, to keep on making the same mistakes over and over with the people's natural resource base?
