Federal Minister Responds To Infrastructure Funding Request

Federal Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi says they are listening to area concerns surrounding infrastructure funding.

There have been repeated calls from local governments for a different approach to funding large infrastructure projects.

Sohi says he can’t commit to changes until all consultations are completed.

Kenora MP Bob Nault has stated he would like to see a review of the formula, noting he’s always supported an 80-20 formula.

Several communities, including Dryden, have stressed they can’t afford their portion of the current one-third funding formula.
