Ferry Services: Liberal MP Lawrence MacAulay

Liberal MP Lawrence MacAulay: On the plus side, Ottawa committed to two years of funding for three ferry services around the Maritimes, two of which sail out of P.E.I. In a news release Liberal MP Lawrence MacAulay said Islanders helped convince the federal government to keep funding the service. Is the 2014 federal budget good for P.E.I.? , according to CBC. But there were more concerns than kudos for the budget. P.E.I. politicians see wins and losses for the province in the federal budget delivered by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty on Wednesday. There will be $58 million over two years to support the continued operation of the Wood Islands, P.E.I. and Caribou, N.S. run; the les de la Madeleine and Souris, P.E.I. run; and the Digby, N.S. and Saint John, N.B ferry.
