Mayor Ed Crewson and CouncilTown of Shelbume203}l[a¡n Street EShelburne, ON L9V 3K7
Dear Mayor Crewson and Council:
I wanted to make you aware of a statement made by my colleague Ted Arnott, MPP Wellington-Halton Hills in the Ontario Legislature on Oct 8,2013.
He called for the reconstitution of the Connecting Link program, I am awate that you weredirectly affected by the cancellation of this program.
Enclosed is a copy of Mr. Arnott's statement.
*"ttDufferin-Caledon
ÊECENÉD
Encl:
Ted Arnott, MPPWellington-Halton Hills
Text of Mr. Arnott's statement in the ontario Legislature,October 8,2013
Mr. Speaker:
The cancellation of the Ministry of Transportation's Connecting Link program is a disgracefulabrogation of responsibility on the part of the Liberal Government.
Earlier this year, in spite of a commitment to all municipalities, the spirit of which was intended toassure them that no significant decisions affecting the budgets of municipalities would be taken by theProvincial Government without consultation,
The Provincial Government arbitrarily and suddenly cancelled the Connecting Link program, whicli I
believe has existed since 1927, when George Howard Ferguson was Premier of Ontario.
Since before the Depression, since before the Second World War, since before any Member of tl,scurrent Legislature was even born, the Connecting Link program has been a joint partnershipbetween local and provincial Government.
::
Recognizing that provincialtraffic on provincial highways travels through built up areas in smallercommunities, the Connecting Link program has paid for up to g0 percent of the cost of necessaryroad and bridge repairs through these "connecting links."
I first raised this in the House on May 28, and have heard from the Township of Centre Wellingtor.,and the Town of Halton Hills. Both of them are rightly pushing back on this massive download ctcosts.
As a former Minister of Transportation, the Premier should know how important this program hqsbeen through the years and that it's still relevant today.
i
I call upon the Government to either reconstitute the Connecting Link program as it has existed forgenerations, or help to fund each and every one of the Connecting Link municipal infrastructureprojects we need in Wellington-Halton Hills.
