Ontario PC Leader Patrick Brown expressed disappointment today in Premier Wynne's treatment the north.
“Kathleen Wynne’s budget was an attack on Northern Ontario,” said Brown. “The Liberals always find a way to leave the hard working northern families paying more and getting less."
The Liberals’ 2017 Budget cut $70 million from the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines, and removed any reference to the development of the Ring of Fire.
“The Liberals first promised action on the Ring of Fire in 2014 but we’ve seen no action," stated Brown. "Every year since they've paid lip service in their budget and now they’ve removed any reference altogether. The Wynne Liberals are no longer hiding it – they have completely abandoned the Ring of Fire.”
The statement from Brown is in support of a byelection campaign in Sault Ste. Marie and the candidate Ross Romano.
