A debate about federal funding for ferry services in Canada. The NDP asked why BC Ferries gets less support per passenger than Atlantic Canada ferries. The Liberals said they got the letter and look forward to chatting about investing more in BC and Canada. That was it.
“I want you to know we got your letter about more money for ferries in your area. We'll talk about it. We'll keep spending money everywhere in Canada.”
