Once again, northern Ontario was hit with wicked weather, which caused another road closure. Our record so far is three for three. L’hiver va être long.

In Hearst, this morning, trucks were lined up for 67 kilometres after a 12-hour road closure. On Ontario 511, there are no indications of road closures.

We have contractors who cannot fulfill their contractual obligations. People are calling my office for updates.

How are we supposed to function up north when every snowstorm creates road closures?

To the minister: When will your ministry address this issue? Passing my private member’s bill is a good start.
