Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has promised to remove the tolls on the Confederation Bridge if his party is elected to govern on April 28th. On Monday morning, Poilievre said the Conservatives would scrap the tolls on the Confederation Bridge and immediately conduct a review of federal support for the Wood Islands-Caribou ferry. Lantz says PEI needs tolls on both the Confederation Bridge and Wood Islands Ferry to be eliminated, and he’s confident that a review of the ferry service and funding will reveal what’s already known — that it’s a critical link for commercial transportation and the tourism industry that’s been chronically underfunded.
Last week, Lantz said he had a commitment from Prime Minister and Liberal Leader Mark Carney that Islanders would be receiving positive news on tolls for the Confederation Bridge and Wood Islands ferry in the coming days.
