During question period recently MP Niki Ashton brought up the repercussions that climate change has had on Northern Manitoba communities. 

The Federal Government made an announcement that 28 million dollars would go towards rebuilding an airport in Thompson that is sinking due to permafrost.

Ashton added that 18 communities depend on ice roads as their lifelines but these are disappearing fast.

As an MP for our region Ashton will continue to fight for Action on climate change and support for communities that have been affected.
