With both Ottawa and Fredericton saying the file is active, it doesn’t appear a resolution to the tolls and future maintenance on the Harbour Bridge is any closer to reality. Energy Minister Jack Keir tells CHSJ News, his government wants to get rid of the tolls and has no problem making the bridge part of Highway One but it belongs to Ottawa.
He says the Harper government can’t pass the responsibility of the entire bridge on to the province without sharing the cost of maintainence.
