Murray Defends Highway Safety Record

In spite of a recent string of  traffic fatalities and highway closures in the north, the province's transportation minister is saying our roads are safe. In the legislature, Glen Murray touted Ontario's highway safety record.   He says we have fewer fatalities and accidents along with the safest roads in all of North America, better than in dryer and warmer places like Kansas and California.  Murray says his ministry will be monitoring how the new MTO crews are deployed and how well they're performing.
