Perth Wellington MP Calls For Stratford GO Train Plan

Perth Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece suggests the Liberals are off track when it comes to expanding GO transit to Perth Wellington.

Pettapiece raised this issue during question period yesterday. He started by reminding Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne that she called full day two way Go Train service to Stratford a priority last November.

He says he wonders if she was just telling people what they want to hear prior to the election. He says the Minister of Transportation is now refusing to say if Go service will come to Stratford.

Pettapiece says he has yet to receive a response from the minister despite numerous letters. He calls the silence disrespectful to the people of Stratford.
