New Brunswick, Nova Scotia premiers seek $700-million in federal funds to protect land corridor
The premiers of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia say they will apply for federal funding to help protect a vital land corridor linking the two provinces.
The premiers argue the federal government has a constitutional obligation to pay for the work under its responsibility for regulating interprovincial transportation and communications infrastructure and enterprises. However, Higgs said that while the courts’ interpretation of the Constitution is important, it’s also critical to respect the funding deadline.
“I don’t believe there’s disagreement on the significance of it, but I think there’s a little bit of difference of opinion on who should pay,” he said. “I believe it should be a priority of the federal government.” An engineering study released in 2022 said the project would take 10 years to complete, but it is unclear what impact a court challenge could have on the timeline.
