Dear Editor,
Re: “$2.1 million to dredge harbour,” News, April 20.
It behooves me that the city, the province and the Steveston Harbour Authority must cast around for funding to dredge the harbour.
Meanwhile, the St. Lawrence River is kept open year round by the Canadian Coast Guard and a private enterprise, The St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation — all funded 100 per cent by the federal government.
Yet another case of the disparity between the eastern and western provinces.
