Mayor Steve Ferguson issued the following statement earlier this morning:
I want to congratulate Chris Malette on his election as Member of Parliament for the Bay of Quinte.
I look forward to meeting with Mr. Malette in the near future and discussing with him the ways the federal government under the leadership of Mark Carney can ensure the long-term prosperity of Canadians.
Like municipalities across Canada, the County of Prince Edward faces a great deal of uncertainty. We want to work together with all levels of government to ensure investments in priorities such as infrastructure, housing, and workforce development build capacity at the local level.
Specifically, I will be urgently pressing Mr. Malette and the federal government to join the provincial government and the municipality in supporting the rehabilitation of County Road 49. This project is essential for the continued economic growth, safety, and well-being of our community.
