The provincial opposition says the Graham government's argument for canceling three rural ferries at the end of the month doesn't hold any water. Premier Shawn Graham has said replacing the aging ferries would cost 12 million dollars but Conservative MLA for Saint John Portland, Trevor Holder, says Transport Canada has not even been contacted to inspect the ferries and questions where the dollar figure came from.
The provincial government plans to dry dock the Belleisle, Gagetown and Hampstead ferries by the end of April. Holder says when asked, the Premier would not say he won't shut down more ferries in the future.
