Families are understandably worried about your government\u2019s ability to maintain winter road safety in Ontario. This is hardly surprising given your government\u2019s dismal record in keeping our roads safe. The Auditor General\u2019s findings show a laundry list of government failures and inaction has resulted in substandard snowplowing services in the province. For years the Ontario PCs have questioned your government\u2019s tendering of these contracts.<\/p>\n<p>An anonymous employee at Carillion said that \u201cour patrol yard doesn\u2019t have enough trucks to keep the highways safe,\u201d and that, \u201cthe majority are broken down and we can\u2019t get any repairs done, since no one will work on them because they\u2019re afraid of not getting paid for the work they do,\u201d concluding \u201cit bothers me, but there\u2019s nothing we can do.\u201d Concerned employees of Carillion, as well as the many families that travel on our winter roads each day, deserve to know that their government has a plan to keep our roads safe.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I am asking you to please inform Ontario families within the next week of any contingencies your government has put in place to ensure that roads will continue to be plowed, and families will be able to get to and from work, hockey practice, and errands safely.<\/p>\n<p>Time is of the essence. Court filings have shown that Carillion Canada has only enough cash to maintain operations until February 19, 2018. The Ontario PCs think the people of Ontario deserve an answer.<\/p>\n<p>Regards,<\/p>\n<p>Michael Harris<br \/>\nOntario PC Transportation Critic<br \/>\nMPP \u2013 Kitchener-Conestoga<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feb 9, 2018 @ 16:49 Earlier today, Ontario PC Transportation Critic Michael Harris sent the following letter to Transportation Minister Kathryn McGarry regarding Carillion: Dear Minister McGarry, I am writing today to inquire about the contingency plans the Wynne Liberal government has in place should Carillion Canada fold in the wake of the collapse of &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[1160],"class_list":["post-10202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-provincial","tag-carillion"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-30 06:47:05","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10202"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10203,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10202\/revisions\/10203"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
