Kenora MP Responds To NDP MPP

Kenora MP Greg Rickford says the federal government is focused right now on helping First Nations repair damage caused by flooding and getting people back in their home.
MPP Gilles Bisson is calling on both levels of government to start looking at moving some communities in the far north to higher ground.
Rickford admits it’s an issue that should be looked at but stresses that moving some communities would be part of a long term plan.
Rickford says the feds are currently helping impacted communities by investing in capital upgrades to fortify buildings and homes.
