It's about to become a lot cheaper to take the Confederation Bridge or the Northumberland ferris off the Island. Prime Minister Mark Carney was in P.E.I to make good on a promise that has been years in the making.

Prime Minister Carney announces cuts to tolls on the Confederation Bridge and reducing fares on interprovincial ferries to save Canadian travellers money.

Premier Rob Lantz says after speaking to Prime Minister Mark Carney at first ministers' meeting this week that he is confident fares to cross the Confederation Bridge and use the Northumberland ferry service will be reduced soon.
