He says Progressive Conservative Melissa Sheehy-Richard called him Friday night to ask if the province can use a road on his property to access land needed to allow exploration.
Hebb says he believes it’s a sign the provincial government is moving ahead with exploration without listening to public concerns about the industry.

Sheehy-Richard did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
