Fedeli expects numerous lawsuits over poor winter road maintenance record

Vic Fedeli, the MPP for Nipissing, says the Liberals are behaving shamefully over the winter road maintenance issue.  Fedeli read the names of nine young people who died on northern highways in one week during 2011 and wanted the Premier to apologize for these deaths.  But he says Kathleen Wynne side-stepped the issue.  He says she wouldn’t answer him and instead passed his question on to the Minister of Transportation who only spoke about the government’s record without addressing his question.  But Fedeli says now that the Auditor General has found the Liberals were at fault over winter road maintenance contracts, Ontario should brace for hundreds of lawsuits.
