Lunenburg's NDP candidate says one of their party's campaign planks would be a help to companies like Composites Atlantic. Pam Birdsall says the ten percent manufacturing and processing tax credit would help businesses grow and would create employment in Lunenburg. Thursday, she took a tour of Composites with party leader Darrell Dexter adding their proposal would allow them to invest in new equipment. She adds it's not just a tax break but an incentive for companies to upgrade and become more competitive. Lunenburg's total manufacturing labour force accounted for just over 42-hundred jobs according to statistics from 2001.
