Bisson Critical of Winter Road Maintenance

Timmins-James Bay MPP Gilles Bisson says Highway 17 and our secondary roads are being closed more frequently due to bad weather because there are fewer plows on the road.

Bisson says the Province needs to re-work the contract to ensure motorists keep safe and to ensure a steady flow of goods.

The NDP member says the Government has changed the terms of its plowing contracts, which means there's 25-percent less equipment being used to clear highways.
