John Baird Addresses Budget Concerns

The Harper Government’s point man for Northern Ontario says First Nations Infrastructure issues will have to wait.
The Nishnawbe-Aski Nation says the Federal budget doesn’t address critical issues facing NAN, but John Baird says it can’t happen right now.
Baird says they have to restrain Government spending right now and can’t throw money at every single problem.
He notes the budget does encourage medical grads to locate in remote areas.
Baird adds its disappointing that the NDP is working with the Liberals and Bloc Quebecois, instead of working for Northerners.
