During the election campaign, Prime Minister Mark Carney promised to reduce Marine Atlantic fees; now, the Opposition wants to know when that announcement will come.
PC Leader Tony Wakeham says Prime Minister Carney promised to cut passenger rates by at least half, but with the summer tourism season about to ramp up, there’s been no announced change in ferry costs.
Wakeham says tourists are making their summer vacation plans now and the high cost of ferry travel to and from Newfoundland is a major deciding factor for many travelers.
