A bill introduced by the Federal Liberals will see the loss of a FedNor Minister.
The Federal Liberals have introduced Bill C-24 which would eliminate the formal position of Minister of Federal Economic Development in Northern Ontario.
NDP FedNor critic Charlie Angus says this bill is sending a clear message to Northern Ontario.
Angus says this move stands in sharp contrast to Liberal campaign promises and underscores the Liberals’ fading commitment to Northern Ontario.
He says we need to reverse these harmful decisions and instead make Fednor a standalone agency.
