Ferry Cuts

The provincial government is again trying to balance the budget on the backs of the most needy.
The ferry service on the North Coast is NOT a luxury but rather a necessity.
The Ferry service between the villages and the Queen Charlotte Islands is a vital link to the people of
Haida Gwai.
The ferry provides more than just a transport for people but also an economic link providing jobs and services for both the mainland and the islands.
With both Provincial and Federal governments looking to push gas and pipeline development in the North Coast to supply the Asian markets, why are they not working to increase and improve service.
It`s plain mismanagement and lack of planning on the governments part.
The removal of the discount for seniors shows that the government has no respect or regards for the people that built this great province.
I would urge all voters to write their MLA, and voice their objection.
