NDP: Wynne’s ‘Northern Cabinet Committee’ ignores most of Northern Ontario
 
QUEEN’S PARK – Timiskaming-Cochrane MPP John Vanthof  [shown] issued the following statement about designate Premier Wynne’s announcement of a Northern Cabinet Committee.
 
“It’s good to hear Ms. Wynne say she wants to pay more attention to the North, but I’m concerned that it’s largely partisan lip service. By creating a Northern Committee drawn only from the Liberal caucus, she is effectively silencing most of the North.
 
“My motion from the last legislative session to create an all-party Northern Committee, made up of all Northern MPPs, would have offered a real voice and fair representation to the North.
 
“It’s important for the new Premier to break Dalton McGuinty’s cycle of ignoring the North. Let’s get the legislature back to work, and let’s create a real Northern Committee that gives a legitimate voice to everyone in the North.”
