CHMA’s Erica Butler called up Tantramar MLA Megan Mitton to get her thoughts on what’s happening with the border, and the Atlantic Bubble in general.

Erica started by asking Mitton what she thought the main challenges are with the border, and what we should be doing to fix them.

On Tuesday, about 9,000 vehicles crossed into New Brunswick at Aulac, according to the province’s online reporting.

According to reports on social media, wait times to cross at Aulac continue to be unpredictable and long.

New Brunswick’s Public Safety minister says that officials will continue to waive Atlantic Canadian cars through the checkpoint when traffic waits become too long.

The department is also working on a “technology-enabled solution” to the traffic problem.
