Premier Susan Holt is facing pushback from some of her own Liberal supporters over her plan to charge highway tolls on New Brunswick’s border with Nova Scotia.
The provincial Liberal riding association in Tantramar said in a Facebook post it is against the tolls, which would start in 2028 and apply only to out-of-province traffic.
“The Tantramar Liberals have made it clear to our Liberal government that we oppose its proposed highway toll in Aulac,” the association said in a post.
“As an association representing the interests of our local communities and our party members, we believe it’s important to speak openly when a provincial policy raises legitimate concerns for the people and businesses of Tantramar.”
The plan for the toll booths was announced in the Liberal budget in March.
