A new twist in the ongoing saga of repairs to the Harbour Bridge.
Saint John East MLA Roly MacIntyre and Saint John Lancaster MLA Abel LeBlanc introduced a motion at the legislature for the federal government to allow the harbour bridge authority to borrow the money needed to carry out $35 million in urgent repairs.
The budget for the Bridge Authority must be approved by the federal government, the provincial government and City of Saint John before the Authority can borrow money to undertake the repairs.
While the province and city have given the ok, the federal government has not yet given approval.
LeBlanc is trying to put David Alward and Trevor Holder on the spot by asking them whether they stand with the people of Saint John or with Rodney Weston and the Federal Conservatives.
