The Graham Government is continuing to apply pressure on Ottawa when it comes to repairs for the Harbour Bridge. Transportation Minister Denis Landry has sent a letter to his counterpart in Ottawa pointing out the Province and and City Hall have approved the Bridge Authority's five year budget. He asks John Baird to approve the budget so necessary repairs can get started.
Energy Minister Jack Keir tells CHSJ News they want to see something done about the repairs.
Keir says after being manager of the Harbour Bridge Authority, he understands the importance of the vital link to this area and all of Atlantic Canada.
He says it's imperative that the Bridge Authority can move forward and make the neeeded refurbishments.
MP Rodney Weston said last week Transport Canada wants more information on who the lender is before they decide on approval.
