Adjournment Proceedings

A late-night adjournment debate on federal ferry funding, raised by Gord Johns of the NDP. He argued that coastal B.C. ferries are essential and receive far less federal money than Atlantic Canadian ferries, and asked the government to fund BC Ferries fairly, warning fares could rise sharply without help. Parliamentary Secretary Caroline Desrochers said ferries are lifelines for communities and noted the government is providing British Columbia nearly $38.6 million this year for its coastal ferry service, with additional funding going directly to BC Ferries. Johns replied that pandemic-related support was equal across coasts but ongoing funding is not, citing the difference in passenger numbers between BC Ferries and east coast ferries.Written by AI from the debate.
