Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is not a fan of the Holt government’s plan to install a highway toll at the New Brunswick-Nova Scotia border.
At a press conference in Ottawa on Thursday, Carney said he was “not happy” with the province’s intention to implement a toll.
“We’ll continue to discuss [this] with them,” said Carney, adding the federal government is trying to reduce internal trade barriers.
Premier Susan Holt did not directly respond to the prime minister’s comments, but she said the proposed tolls are something that’s accepted in many other provinces.
