Fraser says the federal government has committed a significant amount to the project.
It’s proposed the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick Governments would pay for the other half.
However Premier Tim Houston maintains the work is entirely the federal government’s responsibility. The province has asked the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal on whether the Isthmus and related work is entirely a federal responsibility
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs has told federal officials he will take the money, but will continue to fight the federal government in court.
