The Transportation Minister says the provincial government is abiding by the new standards in place for ferries. Denis Landry tells CHSJ News, the Canada Shipping Act was updated in 2001 and the three ferries in question do not meet new standards.
Premier Graham stated in the Legislature last Friday that it is only common sense, that given the age of the vessels, they must be replaced. The problem is, when the budget was unveiled last month, the Transportation Department announced there is no money to do so.
