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.

He raised the matter with federal Transport Minister Omar Alghabra last week.
