Niki Ashton talks about Transportation and Infrastructure Investments

Our NDP MP Niki Ashton has been appointed as Critic for Transport and Public Ownership and she spoke to Arctic Radio News to talk about what she hopes to accomplish with this new assignment.

 

Ashton stated that transportation infrastructure in Northern Manitoba is being impacted by climate change as it has made winter transportation unstable.

 

She has urged the Federal government to invest in all weather roads for our north and that more support is needed for the Port of Churchill and the rail lines something that many communities rely on.

 

A lot of Northern Manitobans rely on airlines for transportation which is becoming more expensive and Ashton wants to ensure that everyone has access to quality air travel.

 

Ashton will continue to push all of these issues to ensure that the north sees federal action when it comes to solving transportation issues.
