NDP Leader Wab Kinew spoke to Arctic Radio News last week about budget issues affecting Flin Flon and The Pas. He replied by saying that the government itself expects that the north is going to lose 15 hundred jobs or more so the issue of jobs is hugely important as well as health, changes to northern patient transfers, and communities losing doctors.
He added that health care is a big issue for a lot of people so those are the issues they’ve been pushing on as people have been raising them with their party and the provincial government as well.
Kinew adds people in the north deserve to be able to earn a good income and also deserve to be able to get the health care they need close to home.
