The International Longshoremen’s Association have filed a Federal Court Application against the proposed construction of Irving Oil’s Headquarters on Long Wharf. Spokesperson, Pat Riley is accusing the Port Authority of giving Irving Oil permission to begin construction on the facility in July. Riley tells CHSJ news he contacted Transport Canada and the construction efforts stopped and that’s when he immediately filed court documents opposing the plans.
Riley says the agreement between the Saint John Port Authority and Irving Oil does not comply with federal legislation.
