Roads will be a major topic on Brent Devolin’s mind as head heads to a conference in Toronto.
The Minden Hills Mayor will be joined by several other lower-tier politicians at the Rural Ontario Municipal Association’s conference.
At a conference in August, politicians asked the province to consider an increase of one per cent to the H.S.T. to help cover an approximately $5 billion deficit for roads and bridges.
All provincial party leaders said no and did not offer a solution.
Devolin says he and his colleagues expect answers.
Devolin says he expects party leaders to be more receptive since a provincial election is coming up in June.
Devolin adds he will be asking questions about flood mitigation efforts as well.
The R.O.M.A. conference starts on Sunday.
