A Conservative promise to remove the toll on the Grand Manan ferry if elected to power next month has left the MLA for the area shaking his head.
Rick Doucett tells us, with no public consultation on the matter with Mayor and council or the operator of the ferry, he believes this idea was put together on the back of a napkin.
Doucett adds the Conservative proposal will cost roughly two and a half million dollars which means a ferry run would have to be lost.
Alward says it's the only ferry service of its kind in the province that charges a toll and it's unfair to island residents.
