The Prime Minister was in chocolate town to inaugurate the new border crossing. The new St. Stephen Port of Entry is located on the new international bridge connecting to Calais. Stephen Harper says this helps to ease traffic between the border towns.

Harper says since the crossing opened in November residential traffic has eased, and commerical traffic has increased by 20%.
