In a meeting held Sept. 18, the province opted to suspend all AIM operations until the investigation is complete. The authority has also chosen to close off the terminal where the fire took place while the task force assesses all events leading up to and during the blaze. Port Saint John will also be investigating AIM's compliance with the terms and conditions of the company's lease.“First and foremost, community safety is paramount to us, as well as being a good neighbour to the people of Saint John,” said Saint John Port Authority CEO Craig Bell Estabrooks. “Since signing the lease with the operator of this site in 2011, many things have changed.
