New Brunswick’s legislature is kicking back into action in Fredericton today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M-L-As will debate bills and attend committees for two weeks before a one-week break from the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposition Leader Glen Savoie says he anticipates seeing the Liberal government’s plan for property tax reform but says he doesn’t have high hopes for its quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today will kick off with a committee meeting reviewing the province’s Clean Water Act before a 1 p-m sitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Tony Wakeham won’t say what’s in a review of a draft energy deal between hydro utilities in his province and Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But he has promised its final report will be released to the public on May 19th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wakeham says the three-person panel tasked with carrying out the review will also speak publicly about their findings that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He says that until then he is withholding his comments about their work \u2014 even though he has had their report since Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nova Scotia’s premier is in Texas once again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tim Houston is in Houston for an offshore technology conference where he is set to participate in a panel about investment in Atlantic Canada’s oil and gas sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The premier was also in Texas in late March for another energy conference, and in late February he travelled to Toronto for a conference on critical minerals and mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The opposition N-D-P have criticized the premier’s frequent trips, while Houston, who also serves as energy minister, says such travel is necessary to promote Nova Scotia’s natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owner of a deteriorating cargo ship that ran aground off the west coast of Newfoundland has hired a company to bring it to shore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mediterranean Shipping Company has hired Resolve Marine to remove the M-S-C Baltic-Three from the rocks off the coast in Cedar Cove, near Lark Harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officials say the plan is to haul the ship to shore in pieces using chains — and Resolve hopes to have the hull on shore by the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The massive ship lost power in heavy seas in February 2025 and hit bottom at the edge of the cove, which opens to the Gulf of St. Lawrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
