The new Minister for Local Government Bruce Fitch has announced he wants to move ahead with the Finn report which has been sitting on the shelf since 2008.
It was set up by the previous Liberal Government to bring forward recommendations on reorganising local government.
Mayor Ivan Court tells CHSJ News this is good news for Saint John if it comes to pass because it will improve the city's bottom line. Court says the report recommends greater regionalisation but not amalgamation with the exception of Campbellton.
The Mayor goes on to say the unincorporated areas have not been paying their fair share of taxes.
