Alward Says Grand Manan Ferry Tolls Will Come Off

Premier David Alward says he will keep his campaign promise of taking the tolls off the Grand Manan Ferry.

Alward says it won't happen this year but it will happen during his mandate.

It's estimated the removal of the tolls will cost the province 1.5 million dollars a year.

He says the removal will help grow the economy but the Mayor of Grand Manan Dennis Greene says it would do quite the opposite.
