Score one in the victory column for the Alward government as it persuades the federal government to resume giving H-S-T rebates to landfills which are now part of the Regional Service Commissions.
The Executive-Director at the Fundy Regional Service Commission Jack Keir tells CHSJ News this means something like 180 thousand dollars for the bottom line at the Fundy Region Solid Waste Commission which would have been a big financial loss. The landfill has already received its rebate.
The continuing status of landfills as municipal infrastructure was in doubt after the provincial government reorganisation which resulted in the landfills becoming part of the Regional Service Commissions.
