Game three is Tuesday night in Gatineau. Gallant adds he is very impressed with the team effort his players are showing.
A day late and $150 million dollars short.....that reaction from Energy Minister Jack Keir to the proposal from Ottawa to Fredericton concerning the future of the Harbour Bridge. Keir tells CHSJ News, he is how-ever encouraged MP Rodney Weston has come to the table after the Province sent a letter to Ottawa 14 months ago.
Keir adds the $17.5 million Ottawa has put on the table to walk away from the Harbour Bridge is not fair or acceptable.
The Province wanted to hear from Ottawa concerning the Harbour Bridge and here we go.
A letter is on it's way to Premier Graham outlining a proposal.
Ottawa is willing to forgive the bridge's out-standing debt and withdraw from the Authority and will provide $17.5 million toward repairs. In return, the bridge becomes part of Highway One with the province responsible for all future costs and the tolls are removed immediately.
MP Rodney Weston tells CHSJ News, this would have happened much sooner if the Graham Government had been involved.
Another piece of the proposal is City Hall would no longer be responsible for further costs to the Harbour Bridge.

A lot of momentum was lost in Greater Saint John when plans for a second refinery and a new look for Long Wharf were shelved.
General Manager Steve Carson tells CHSJ News, the spirit of entrepreneurship and the daily drive is what makes Greater Saint Joh successful. Carson is quick to point out, mega-projects must still be planned for and encouraged but employment has been stable with-out one.
