Federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau insists his government has done a lot to help northwestern Ontario and First Nations communities.
As part of an exclusive interview with Acadia Broadcasting, Trudeau pointed to advancements in reconciliation, infrastructure, housing and investments in FedNor.
He admits there are a number of challenges that still need attention.
“Specifically housing. Specially waste water. I recognize that remote, rural and northern communities face particular challenges around cell phone coverage and access to broadband.”
Trudeau insists his government has been partnering with those communities on these issues.
Trudeau also pledged to reduce cell phone bills by 25%.
He says the big three cell phone providers must lower their rates or his government will bring in more competition.
Trudeau was in Thunder Bay yesterday (Wednesday) to meet with some 300 supporters.
