NDP MP Calling for Help for Forest Sector

The NDP is calling for a stand-alone economic agency for Northern Ontario as well as loan guarantees to forest companies.
Those 2-resolutions were approved at the Federal Party Convention held in Halifax.
Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty also stressed the need of scrapping or renegotiating the softwood lumber agreement.
Rafferty notes his party doesn’t want a Fall Election but is ready for one just in case.
