Level the playing field for PEI businesses

Tolls on the Confederation Bridge:

  • Increase the cost of doing business in PEI.
  • Create a financial barrier for goods entering and leaving the island.
  • Make PEI businesses less competitive than other provinces.

Did you know?

Despite being an inter-provincial connection, the Confederation Bridge still has tolls, unlike other major infrastructure projects in Canada.

The tolls on the Confederation Bridge are an unfair and undue financial burden on my small business in PEI. I want fair treatment for my business. It’s time for the federal government to step in and eliminate these tolls, just like you did in Quebec.

I am asking you to:

  • Eliminate the tolls on the Confederation Bridge.
  • Fully fund the bridge as a federal infrastructure project, like other similar national initiatives in Canada.
