The handling of Bluenose II restoration project is facing some criticism. The project is more than two years behind schedule and millions of dollars over budget. The latest on the $16.7 million project, indicates the ship has steering problems. Tory leader Jamie Baillie says the government needs to be more open about the status of the project.
The Bluenose II is set to begin public sailing this summer. However, it has to undergo sea trials to determine the schooner is safe.
