The MLA for Emerson says the road conditions in our province are deplorable.  Jack Penner says our economy is suffering from the deterioration of our highways.  Penner points to the bridge at Dominion City, which has fallen into the river, and the bridge at Letellier, which is in jeopardy of collapsing, as severe examples of places where road conditions are affecting transportation.  He understands our extreme weather takes a toll on the roads but he then questions why North Dakota can maintain smooth highways while Manitoba's roads are left in poor condition.
