Mr. Speaker, the Ontario government recently announced a budget increase for the northern Ontario heritage fund, money that supports economic development in the north. This increase makes the fund worth $100 million in 2011. In contrast, the similar federal program, FedNor, was cut by $6.4 million.
This is another example of a provincial government doing the right thing while the federal government runs in the opposite direction.
When will the Prime Minister start doing the right thing in northern Ontario and restore FedNor's budget?
