The Liberal candidate in a Newfoundland and Labrador riding could soon learn whether his 12-vote lead will hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An automatic judicial recount is underway in Terra Nova-The Peninsulas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Elections Canada says it could still be “a day or two” before the recount determines whether Liberal Anthony Germain really did beat Conservative Jonathan Rowe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hunters and fishers in New Brunswick may now present electronic copies of their licences to conservation officers when asked for ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The policy change ends the need for a signature on licences issued by the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development\u2019s electronic licensing system for such activities as hunting, angling, and trapping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natural Resources Minister John Herron says allowing hunters and fishers to show an electronic licence as proof to a conservation officer, instead of carrying a paper copy, is something they have long been asking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The licensee must still be able to present a copy of his or her licence upon request, regardless of internet connectivity or other phone issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The City of Fredericton has released a new report showing rapidly shifting housing needs and changing household dynamics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The update to the Housing Needs Assessment shows a smaller proportion of both rental and ownership markets is affordable to all households, reporting that homelessness has increased by 63 per cent between 2021 and 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With population growth in Fredericton projected to increase 41 per cent over the next two decades, the housing assessment says the city will require nearly 20-thousand housing units over that span to keep up with demand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The city has seen record housing starts over the past five years, but construction has not kept pace with population growth. (The Canadian Press)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
