Mr. Speaker, the mayors of northeastern New Brunswick have formed a coalition to raise awareness among different levels of government of the need to invest in highway infrastructure.
In seven years, the Brunswick mine will close its doors. It will therefore be important to attract investors to this region.
Will the Minister of Transport commit to making a financial contribution to the highway infrastructure in the north of the province together with the Government of New Brunswick in order to attract investors to these regions and benefit from the local workforce?
