The debate over bringing back a local municipal police service is apparently over:
| Quote: | Eight city councillors voted to keep the federal police force instead of adopting a proposal that would have established a municipal police force.
The city had threatened to ditch the Codiac Regional RCMP in a fight over cost concerns with both Ottawa and Moncton's neighbouring communities, Dieppe and Riverview.
The three local councils struck a new cost-sharing deal in November, but the federal government has not agreed to ante up the 10 per cent subsidy that is offered to other municipalities and would be worth almost $2 million.
Moncton Mayor George LeBlanc said he expects to hear in the spring whether the federal government will provide the additional funding. |
