n addition to building a $750-million liquefied natural gas plant in Saint John, N.B., Irving Oil Ltd. is also considering building a second oil refinery in the province.

The proposed refinery could cost up to $7 billion and generate 300,000 barrels a day, but the privately held company won’t make a final decision until next year.

"A billion here, a billion there,
sooner or later it adds up
to some real money."
