MLA for Charlotte-The Isles Rick Doucet tells Tide News the closure of the marine and traffic services centre in Saint John will jeopardize safety in the Bay of Fundy.
Doucet says the Coast Guard Marine Centre in Saint John controlled all of the traffic in the Bay of Fundy. Now, he says, if a boat is in trouble, they will now be speaking with someone in Nova Scotia, compared to the people in Saint John who know every nook and crannie of the Bay of Fundy.
Rick Doucet says just like our blood supply leaving the province -- Nova Scotia will now be our only marine link as well.
