WILSON DEMANDS ACTION
ON HIGHWAY 26
(Queen's Park) - The
re-development of Highway 26 from Stayner to Collingwood would
have been completed two years ago had the McGuinty Government not
cancelled the project in 2004, says Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson.
During Question Period,
Wilson challenged the Minister of Transportation to complete the
project this summer. "Last week, a very popular former teacher
was killed, and his wife seriously injured on this very stretch of
Highway 26," Wilson said. "Why over the last three and a half
years have you failed to take my advice, the advice of
Collingwood, Wasaga Beach and Clearview Councils and the advice of
our community to complete this highway to improve road safety?"
Wilson then quoted an
editorial from the Collingwood Enterprise-Bulletin: "Lots
of lip service has been paid to the subject by the McGuinty
Liberal Government but it's now time for them to stop kissing up
to us with empty promises and put the shovels in the ground.
Public Safety demands nothing less. Their track record on the
subject is abysmal. The Liberal Government has stalled, delayed,
obfuscated and backtracked to the point of absurdity. Enough is
enough."
