They have not addressed it yet. Blaster86 is right that they have been pretty tightlipped until they made their tax increase announcement last week. I would expect now that they've announced where they'll get some money there will be an announcement a week at least on new programs/promises. Wouldn't expect them to get too controversial leading by as much as they are in the polls. Am predicting some sort of provincial daycare initiative.
Most of what I've heard them say about LNG in the past indicates that they view it as a potential cash cow but will likely favor more environmental hoops for any projects. Dix in December was quoted as saying that LNG is a good opportunity and wants to work for more jobs but some of his MLAs have sounded off on the environmental side
