Harbour Bridge Update

A deal on the Harbour Bridge between Fredericton and Ottawa seems far off and partisan politics may be too blame.

Saint John MP Rodney Weston told CHSJ News that Ottawa would be responding to the Province's offer on the Harbour Bridge.

Weston said Keith Ashfield would be discussing all aspects of the bridge including cost-sharing refurbishments and removal of the tolls.

A few hours later, Energy Minister Jack Keir told CHSJ News that Keith Ashfield turned down the province's offer on the Harbour Bridge.

Keir says it doesn't make any sense unless it means that MP Greg Thompson's theory is right that fellow MP Keith Ashfield wants to play politics with some of the issues in this province.
