The Canadian Ferry Association applauds an announcement made by Defense Minister Peter MacKay and Revenue Minister Gail Shea on Government of Canada's investment in the purchase of a new vessel for the Digby to Saint John ferry service, replacing the federally-owned MV Princess of Acadia. This much needed investment should ensure reliable ferry service, which is particularly important to the local economy, and transportation infrastructure.
Detailed information on the investment is available from Transport Canada.
