Federal Cash For Atlantic Canadian Ferry Services

Ferry services in the region being tossed a lifeline.
The services, which includes The Princess of Acadia and its Saint John to Digby run, receiving $51 million dollars from the Federal Government which will keep them afloat until March 31st of 2014.
Saint John MP Rodney Weston says the investment is a no-brainer because it's a key part of the transportation network in Atlantic Canada.
As to whether additional or regular investments would be made after 2014, Weston could not confirm it.
