Liberal Candidate Discusses Northern Plan

The Liberal candidate in Kenora-Rainy River is touting the McGuinty
Government’s Northern Ontario platform.
The Grits are promising an additional $40-million for the
Northern Heritage Fund as well as more jobs, research opportunities and
better health care.
Mike Wood says the platform contains several exciting initiatives for local
residents.
