What happened
Minister Steven MacKinnon announced an investment of up to $254 million through the Trade Diversification Corridors Fund to support the Saint John Trade Corridor project. This funding supports targeted improvements to the Port of Saint John and New Brunswick Southern Railway. The project will expand warehouse capacity and implement dredging and marine service upgrades.

Why it matters
The investment is designed to increase the Port of Saint John's capacity to handle between 850,000 and 1 million twenty-foot equivalent units annually. Upgrades will reduce delays, accommodate larger vessels, and support temperature-sensitive and higher-value cargo. This reinforces Saint John's role as an Atlantic Gateway.
Federal investment is supporting local infrastructure projects in Saint John.
