The Conservative MLA for Hampton-Kings says the Graham government's decision to shut down the Hampstead, Belleisle and Gagetown ferries is an attack on rural New Brunswick. Bev Harrison tells CHSJ news the ferries service the tourist industry and allow people to access businesses in Belleisle and Gagetown.

Government announced in its provincial budget the Gagetown and Belleisle runs will end later this month while the Hampstead Ferry will not operate in May. Even though the service is free, Minister Denis Landry says motorists are clearly not taking advantage of it.
