What is the cost-benefit analysis for solar panels on the North Star Arena to reduce costs? Is there an opportunity for a funding partnership with provincial and federal governments? (e.g. 1/3 – 1/3 – 1/3)
Funding for Senior’s fitness programs needed
The cost of attending fitness programs is prohibitive for many seniors, who want to attend fitness classes, but cannot afford too. For example a local gym offers a “Seniors Chair & Balance Class” twice per week that costs $7.20 per session for a 10 pack, or $40/month (8 sessions so $5/session if attend all). Cost is […]
Beef cattle financial protection program not working for farmers
The Ontario Beef Cattle Financial Protection Program is accessible to PEI producers that ship cattle to plants in Ontario.

Bank returned money after cheque was cashed
A cheque from an off-Island company was cashed, cleared, and deposited in the chequing account of the client. The source company then went bankrupt, and the money was returned to them. Why was the bank allowed to do this?

[On a related note some insurance policies won’t cover this expense because care is being provided by a public institution.] Given that […]
Cattle prices inconsistent at Atlantic Beef Products
“PEI farmers are being paid less for cattle of same quality than those purchased from off-Island (e.g. Quebec) – between $0.20 and $0.50 per pound after trucking expenses. As well there are price discrepancies between what is paid to farmers on-Island that appear to be biased based on personal connections.”
PEI Still Needs an Infrastructure Summit
In the Fall 2015 sitting of the PEI legislature I moved Motion #46 that Prince Edward Island hold a formal Infrastructure Summit.
