The federal Minister for the Atlantic Gateway is reinforcing New Brunswick's importance in the future of international trade as well as the generation and sale of energy. Peter MacKay says Saint John is central to the Atlantic gateway bringing business from the biggest and best companies in the world.

Meanwhile, MacKay won't say if federal money is on the way for the Saint John Airport through the Atlantic Gateway Fund. He tells CHSJ news they will determine the funding priorities after they have received all of the applications. MacKay was speaking at a Board of Trade luncheon today at the Delta.
