Northern Issues Debated

The NDP will kill mining jobs in Northern Ontario; that’s the feeling of the Liberals.
Northern Development, Mines and Forestry Minister Michael Gravelle says the NDP mining scheme is bad policy that would hurt foreign investment.
The NDP plan would make it law that resources that can be processed in Ontario won’t be shipped away elsewhere.
The Liberals feel that other regions will retaliate by ending mineral investment here.
Meantime, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath is calling out the Liberal Government for sending out press releases attacking her Northern Ontario platform.
Horwath says if the McGuinty Liberals want to attack her policies they can take part in a Northern Ontario specific debate set in the region.
Horwath spoke to a crowd of party faithful in Thunder Bay Thursday.
