The Digby Ferry: My question in the House of Commons

http://www.liberal.ca/players/player_e.aspx?id=707

Mr. Speaker, the Saint John to Digby ferry is a vital link for Atlantic Canada. The provinces should not have to pay to maintain the service. It is part of our national transportation infrastructure, just like highways and rail lines.

This is a marine superhighway from the energy hub of Saint John to Nova Scotia lumber and fishing communities.

Will the government commit today to use funding from the Atlantic gateway initiative to help keep this tourism and trade link running?
