We request that the government start the process to make the inland ferry system fall under the government of British Columbia versus a private contractor. As the Interior highways within British Columbia are a significant part of the transportation system in the province. It is crucial from a safety and economical perspective that these inland ferries be managed and operated by the province of British Columbia and not a private contractor.
