City Councilor Puts Pressure on MP to Deliver Water Funding

Councilor Peter McGuire is still waiting for a federal cheque to be cut for Saint John's clean drinking water projects. A recent report by the Conference Board of Canada shows Saint John will be the only small to medium sized city in the country that will grow in GDP next year. McGuire says Saint John's economy is booming--but--will do even better once water projects get federal backing.

The Conference Board of Canada says Saint John's growth can be attributed to provincial infrastructure investments and tax cuts.
