Develop funding plan to help Greyhound, NDP leader Singh urges Trudeau
OTTAWA — Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is calling on the Liberal government to come up with a way to keep Greyhound buses on Canadian highways and servicing remote northern communities.
In a letter to Justin Trudeau. Singh urges the prime minister to take “immediate action” and develop a funding plan that would prevent Greyhound from shutting down crucial routes in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, northwestern Ontario and rural British Columbia.
“This federal funding plan must ensure there is no interruption or reduction in bus service, so no community is left stranded,” Singh writes in the letter released Wednesday.
He also urges Trudeau to enlist the help of impacted provinces and municipalities in coming up with the plan.
