Mr. Speaker, we will always vote against Conservative budgets that do not get the job done for northern Ontario.
We have a shortage of workers in the mining sector to the tune of 100,000, yet the Conservatives have no plan for reversing this trend. They are actually making it harder for mining sectors to survive by killing the accelerated capital cost allowance, despite extending this allowance to the manufacturing sector.
Why are they excluding northern Ontario from their economic recovery plan?
