There have been reports that the Federal government would not be able to take the necessary legal steps to forgive the bridge's 22 million dollar loan by March 31st, which would keep the tolls alive until at least June.
Saint John MP Rodney Weston says that is simply not true. He says the debt will be forgiven once ownership has been transferred to the province and the tolls have been lifted.
Saint John Portland M-L-A Trevor Holder says he has been told by the Premier's office that negotiations are continuing.
