The NDP candidate in Kiiwetinoong says if re-elected June 2, he will work to end jurisdictional bickering and break down barriers that are holding communities back from growth.
Sol Mamakwa believes his party is the one to better unite the province and the federal government.
“Since the last four years. Since I was at Queen’s Park in my role. I think we saw how jurisdiction is used as an excuse not to do anything. We can not continue to play jurisdictional ambiguity on the health and the lives of the people in Kiiwetinoong.”
He adds, “Not just First Nations but also the Municipalities because their impacted as well. The needs are the same and there is certainly unnecessary suffering that happened because of the lack access to health services (for example).”
Mamakwa says it’s so important to work together given the size of the riding and the lack of services.
The incumbent started his fly-in campaign Tuesday in Kingfisher Lake First Nation.
He is also focusing his campaign around improved health programming in the far north and more health care professionals as well as broader NDP strategies for the north including expanding broadband service.
