With the Liberals saying tolls can’t be removed from the Grand Manan Ferry without services being lost, the Conservatives are singing a different tune.
Sharon Tucker is the PC Candidate for Charlotte the Isles and tells CHSJ News, her party is committed to removing the tolls without creating an additional cost to taxpayers and without eliminating ferry runs.
She says the people of Grand Manan are the only people in New Brunswick who have to pay to travel within their own province and this decision is about fairness.
Tucker says getting rid of the tolls will help kick start the economic engine of the island, and bring new jobs and businesses to the area.
