Premier Furey says he’s upset and disappointed at the decision by Marine Atlantic.
Furey is calling on the federal government to reverse the Marine Atlantic rate increase, and says the entire cost-recovery system for the vital link needs to be overhauled.
Furey says the increase in the fuel surcharge from 13 to 17 per cent is punitive to the people of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the tourists who come here.
He raised the matter with federal Transport Minister Omar Alghabra last week.
