Self-sufficient NB - still a long way to go

Our New Brunswick government, under Shawn Graham, has created a plan designed to lift our province away from its dependency on Ottawa and into a new era of self-sufficiency by 2026. The plan is called 'Our action plan to be self-sufficient in NB' and can be found at http://www.gnb.ca/2026/osspdf/report-e.pdf. The document is filled with trendy buzz words like 'transformative change', 'strategic investment', and 'robust, innovative economy' - terms that could truly inspire any reader to feel as though Mr. Graham was actually serious about creating growth - almost.
The plan left me with some fundamental unanswered questions. First of all, what, exactly, does 'self-sufficient' mean? One would assume that the NB government would establish measurable indicators to define self-sufficient. Then they'd know if they ever achieved it. By creating a detailed framework with clear steps toward attaining their goal, the government would be able to better understand their impact and adjust their actions accordingly. That is, if they were honestly interested in having impact. This isn't necessarily the case. By not defining 'self-sufficient', the Graham governement has made it easier to justify their actions under the plan, since it's end goal is so ambiguous.
This trend of ambiguity continues throughout the entire document. For instance, under the focus of 'Transforming our economy', the pledge to 'Establish NB as the region's energy hub...' tells me nothing. How much money does this require? What markets are we pursuing? How many more people will we need for this? Does 'energy hub' mean that we produce 50% of the region's electricity, or 85%?
Without a quantitative, explicit plan outlining the path toward self-sufficiency in NB - one that allows the public to hold the provincial government accountable for their decisions - we will never get one step closer to weaning ourselves from Ottawa.
