CORNER BROOK, N.L. – The Newfoundland and Labrador Liberals would seek a settlement with a group involved in a class-action lawsuit over moose collisions if they win the provincial election.
Party leader Kevin Aylward made the pledge during a campaign news conference in Corner Brook.

Aylward says his party would work with groups such as the Save Our People Action Committee to identify areas in the province prone to moose-vehicle collisions and put up fencing to keep the large animals off highways.
There are about 800 collisions a year between moose and vehicles.
The province announced a $5-million dollar pilot project in July that includes placing moose fencing along the Trans-Canada Highway and a flashing-light detector system to warn drivers of moose near the roadway.
Voters go to the polls October 11th.
