Bridges function as vital links between communities, and we must ensure that they are properly maintained, said Mr. Arnott. His call comes as many municipalities across Ontario are confronting ex- pensive bridge repairs. Arnott tabled a resolution in the Ontario Legislature on December 11 calling for the Government of Ontario to assume responsibility, over a 12-year period, for all mu- nicipal bridges in Ontario. This resolution is designed to put pressure on the Mc- Guinty Liberal Government to remember that bridges must be a high priority, ex- plained Arnott, adding that local governments must be supported to a greater extent than is the case today. Restoring provincial re- sponsibility for bridges is not a new idea, he says. In 2003, the Progressive Con- servative Partys platform contained a commitment to do just that. Prior to the October 10 provincial election, a report was commissioned to look into the provincial-municipal relationship to re-examine the roles and responsibilities of each level of government. Municipal Affairs Minister Jim Watson has recently in- formed the Legislature that this report is due to be pre- sented this spring.
