HALIFAX A two-year court fight by Nova Scotia s Opposition has ended with a judge ordering the province to disclose how much it pays in management fees to a heavily subsidized private ferry operator. The Progressive Conservatives went to court seeking the release of information about the fee paid to Bay Ferries for operating the ferry between Yarmouth, N.S., and Maine.

BAR HARBOR
 â The CAT ferry linking travel from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, to Bar Harbor will not operate during the 2021 season due to the pandemic.
Bay Ferries Ltd., the Nova Scotia-based company that operates the CAT, had hoped to resume the service from Bar Harbor in 2019. It has sailed from Portland for the last 10 years.
After losing the 2019 season because the ferry terminal renovation had not been completed and approved by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the company eyed a 2020 start, but that didnât happen due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision was made on Monday by Canadian officials who said they do not expect the countryâs border to open to nonessential travel anytime soon.
