Container Terminal and Private Development

rail infrastructure: McNeil told the business community there would be no money from the province to build a container terminal in Sydney because developing the port is not the province responsibility. "It all private development," he said. "They'll make the determinants on which project will go forward, which are there — roads, that kind of investment that we would require." McNeil says the province is working to ensure road and rail infrastructure is available, according to CBC. Infrastructure only He said the Port of Sydney, the Melford Terminal project in Guysborough County and the Port of Halifax have all talked to the government about container terminal opportunities. "We made it clear that, you know, we encourage them to continue to look at Nova Scotia to invest, and that our role in this will just be on the public infrastructure side." He said the government is willing to invest in a second berth for the Port of Sydney if the municipal and federal governments also contribute "because that is really bringing tourists into the community." A level of frustration The premier also spoke about health care at the breakfast. He talked about everything from health care to port development to immigration. His government has been under fire for doctor shortages in Cape Breton. "Even under the old system of multiple regional health authorities , people felt a level of frustration," he told the audience. Help for immigrants On another matter, an attendee asked McNeil if the province will provide more support services in Cape Breton for potential immigrants. "We're not going to replicate every department in every part of the province. He also said he especially proud of the collaborative practice model for family medicine, which the Department of Health has identified as the way of the future. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
