If elected, the Conservatives are making a big commitment to the Saint John Port.
David Alward’s government is promising to come up with close to five million dollars for upgrades to the Pugsley C and Long Wharf Terminals.
Saint John Harbour Candidate Carl Killen says over the past four years, other ports in the Province have seen close to $40 million dollars in investments.
Killen says the cry for help for the cruise industry is a call that deserves to be heard.
The Port says upgrades to both terminals are needed to accommodate the growing number of cruise vessels with an estimated 300,000 cruise ship passengers expected by 2015.
