Bruce MacIntyre is the right person for that job. Having interviewed him, I found that he has all of the qualifications to run a major enterprise, which the Kingston Port is ($1.5 million in revenue).

It is quite common for the Progressive Liberal Democrats to expend huge dollars on key elections.
