Tories push for ferry update
Progressive Conservative MLA for Argyle-Barrington Chris d'Entremont is calling on the McNeil Liberals to release an update on the Yarmouth ferry, according to a news release Tuesday.
"The Liberals are putting the 2016 sailing season in serious jeopardy and it's time to come clean with Nova Scotians," says d'Entremont. "What is happening with the Yarmouth ferry? Nova Scotians deserve a plan now."
The premier’s recent announcement committing up to $21 million for ferry restoration is welcome news for Yarmouth, South West Nova, and tourism businesses across the province. It is also encouraging to see that even the ever stubborn Darrell can crack from political pressure and do an about-face on a position in which he has been entrenched for three years.
