Niagara South MP Fred Davies is calling on the Carney government to fully fund the rehabilitation of Wharf 18 in Port Colborne, which Davies says is long overdue.
Late last week, Davies sent a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney and Transport Minister Steven MacKinnon calling on the government to act.
Wharf 18 sits at the southern boundary of the Welland Canal, at the gateway between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic. Wharf 18 is a federally owned asset but has been out of service for nearly 20 years. It is managed by the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation on behalf of Transport Canada.
