Saint John MP Rodney Weston is more optimistic about a long term solution on the Harbour Bridge than he was a week ago.
An offer from the Provincial government will see the tolls removed as long as Ottawa agrees to pay half the cost of repairs for the next 30 years.
Rodney Weston tells CHSJ News it would be cynical of him to question the timing of this offer with a provincial election coming in September.
Weston says he isn't sure about the timelime of resolving it by the end of June, he says it would be better to get the right deal rather than the quick deal. He wants to discuss the proposal with his federal colleagues, ACOA Minister Keith Ashfield and Transport Minister John Baird before commenting on the specifics.
