         AND WHEREAS after ten years in power Government has failed to properly develop and maintain vital highway and ferry services in many parts of the Province;

 

         AND WHEREAS this Government has failed to follow its own ferry strategy;

 

         AND WHEREAS the people of Newfoundland and Labrador continue to suffer from an unacceptably large inventory of unpaved gravel roads, aging bridges, culverts and highways;

         AND WHEREAS this neglect has resulted in the Canadian Automobile Association listing five of the 11 worst roads in Atlantic Canada as being found in our Province;

 

         THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this House of Assembly call upon Government to develop an advanced transportation strategy for road and ferry users.”
