Mr. Speaker, we will watch that closely.
Seven years ago only two provinces were not accessible by the Trans-Canada Highway, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland. Today only Newfoundland needs a ferry service, which should be treated as the extension of the Trans-Canada Highway.
The cost of getting to P.E.I. by the fixed link has gone up over the last five years by 11%. To get to Newfoundland by ferry costs an additional 30%.
In light of the money squandered through the sponsorship program by the Liberal government, how can it justify putting this extra burden on the shoulders of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador?
