It’s not a done deal — that’s the word from Saint John Conservative M-P Rodney Weston in response to media reports Ottawa and the province will be cutting cheques for a 42-million dollar expansion of docking facilities at the local port.
He says it’s one of a number of files being worked on at the moment — a project he says he supports.
Meantime — provincial government sources confirm the proposal is in “the discussion stage” at the moment.
The port authority says it needs more docking facilities to handle more and larger cruise ships.
