Former Saint John Fundy M-L-A Stuart Jamieson says it's been a thorne in his side -- now -- it appears the province is trying to find a solution.



Jamieson tells CHSJ News car rental agencies have been using vehicles registered in Nova Scotia translating to a loss of revenue for the province.


A spokesperson for the Department of Public Safety tells us the province is confident a solution similar to what's in place for commercial vehicles will work -- that system sees the commercial vehicles registered in one jurisdiction with the registration revenues shared between provinces and states based on actual miles travelled in each jurisdiction based on company records.
