FedNor Bill Introduced Today

A New Democrat MP is asking Kenora MP Greg Rickford to support a private members bill that makes FedNor an independent economic agency for Northern Ontario.
Claude Gravelle is expected to table the bill in the House of Commons this afternoon. (Wednesday)
Gravelle says an independent agency would speed up the application process.
Gravelle notes right now FedNor is in the hands of a “meddling Minister”.
The Nickle Belt MP says its time the North had its own independent economic agency that is free from political interference and control.
Gravelle says right now Tony Clement controls when and where the funds are dispersed.
