“If there is an opportunity to strengthen and align those services through branding we would consider moving forward with such an initiative,” the government said in a written statement
The changes could mean spending millions of dollars replacing signs and applying new decals to trucks.
The NDP opposition believes this would be a waste of money.
“That’s not where we should be spending Crown money right now. We’ve got blackouts over and over again. We need to change to more renewable energy. We need accessible high-quality internet,” NDP leader Rya Meili said.

The government said rebranding is at the exploratory stage and that if rebranding proceeds, it would be structured in a way that minimizes cost.
