Highway Winter Maintenance Questioned
The provincial government is taking some heat over road conditions on northern Ontario highways.
Opposition parties say the governing Liberals are jeopardizing motorists' safety by lowering maintenance standards in their winter contracts.
P-C member Vic Fedeli is seeking a coroner's inquest into the recent deaths on northern highways.
New Democrat Gilles Bisson says the Liberals are trying to save money by reducing the number of plows on the road.
