No announcement from the Progressive Conservatives, the Greens once again promise a bridge

SATURDAY, Blaine Higgs was in Moncton to campaign with the region’s Progressive Conservative candidates. No announcement was planned for this 10th day of the campaign.

The outgoing Prime Minister took the opportunity to participate in a rappelling activity from the Assomption Tower in Moncton, a fundraiser organized to support the Community of Hope, a non-profit organization that supports victims of trafficking sexual.

In an emailed statement, outgoing Education Minister Bill Hogan used the Liberals’ announcement to ask whether Susan Holt would rescind Policy 713 and claim that their opponents’ education promises demonstrated the ways the Liberals will spend taxpayers’ money.

According to documents filed by the parties with Elections NB, as of September 27, the bill for electoral commitments made by the Progressive Conservative Party amounts to nearly $1.7 billion. So far, the Liberal Party has promised to spend almost $720 million.

For their part, the Greens went to the Acadian Peninsula to repeat their commitment to build a new Shippagan-Lamèque bridge if they are brought to power.

Since 2020, I have been advocating for a modern and safe bridge to connect the islands of Lamèque and Miscou to the mainland part of Shippagansaid Mr. Coon in a press release released Saturday morning.It is essential that residents of island communities have reliable connections to the mainland in order to access services and opportunities.

M. Coon was accompanied by Wilfred Roussel, Green candidate in the riding of Shippagan-Les-Îles, and Serge Brideau, Green candidate for Tracadie.

Asked to specify how much this promise could cost, a spokesperson for the Green Party indicated in a press release that the estimated cost of the project was $80 million in 2022.

We want to share the costs with the federal government, as was done for the Anderson Bridge in Miramichi. This estimate dates back two years, the exact sharing of costs with the federal government will have to be negotiatedcan we read in an email sent by the party.

According to Elections NB, the cost of the Greens’ electoral commitments currently stands at $2.4 billion. This amount does not include the costs of replacing the Shippagan bridge.
