Northern MP Anxious to Return to Work

Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty is anxious to get back to Ottawa.
The NDP member plans to focus attention on the Northern Ontario economy in the House of Commons.
Rafferty is also planning to reintroduce bills on protection pensions and severance that died with the election call.
Rafferty has not spoken with NDP Leader Jack Layton, but hopes he can serve in some capacity on the party’s shadow cabinet.
