N.B. Won't Stop Supplying Power to Maine at This Point, Premier Says
Susan Holt said New Brunswick will keep supplying electricity to Maine while Ottawa prepares retaliatory tariffs and considers a $13.7 million relief fund top-up.
- On Tuesday, New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt confirmed that the province will continue supplying electricity to Maine despite the ongoing trade dispute with the U.S.
- Over the weekend, new U.S. levies of 50 per cent on $28 billion worth of Canadian products took effect after trade negotiations between the two countries collapsed.
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford had previously warned he might terminate his province's power exports, a stance Holt rejected as an "extremely serious measure" for long-standing neighbors.
- Holt confirmed on Monday she is working with Ottawa on retaliatory tariffs, supporting actions that "hit the Americans where it hurts" in response to the duties.
- Evaluating the impact of increased levies, the provincial government may increase its joint $13.7-million tariff relief fund during the next budget process to support local industries.
