Editor: It is interesting to note that the Port Mann Bridge is an extension of and part of the Trans-Canada Highway. Therefore, it it is not totally funded by the federal government, it is at least heavily subsidized.Transportation Minister Shirley Bond should know that and to try to tell us that we, the taxpayer, are responsible for it is hogwash.Perhaps some of the $1.6 billion that we received from the feds for the HST would have been better spent on the Port Mann and not the Olympics. I fear that is where a lot of the money went.Debbie Atkinson, Langley
