The Department of Supply and Services has proven expertise and skills in major project management. It has consistently taken an 'arm's length' approach to issues surrounding modifications to the Petitcodiac Causeway and is not predisposed to any outcome resulting from the various options to be examined.

As manager of the EIA study, the Department of Supply and Services offers professionalism, objectivity and strong management.
