The candidates seeking to become the new leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party are promising more attention for northern Ontario.
Christine Elliott, Vic Fedeli, Lisa MacLeod and Patrick Brown held an all-candidates debate in Sudbury this week.
Vic Fedeli wants northern Ontario to prosper as well as southern Ontario.
Fedeli is pledging more input from northerners on the party’s policies impacting the region.
Christine Elliott says the PC party can no longer take northern Ontario for granted.
Elliot says the next 4-years can’t be business as usual.
Lisa MacLeod sees enhancing resource development as a way to create new employment in the north.
Patrick Brown says the PC party needs to listen better to northerners and notes he would grill the government on why they don’t have a plan for the Ring of Fire.
