Orazietti builds support among local construction unions

NEWS RELEASE

“We are the only party with a comprehensive, long-term infrastructure plan for the province that will support upgrades to vital infrastructure and keep Sault Ste. Marie moving forward,” said Orazietti. “The PC’s are promising to cut 1,400 jobs in our city and the NDP clearly don’t have a plan to support our local economy. The last time the NDP represented Sault Ste. Marie, our unemployment rate to skyrocketed to 19%. We can’t afford to go back there and we can’t afford Tim Hudak’s deep cuts.”

“David has been a very strong advocate for numerous local infrastructure projects that have helped to improve our city and create quality, well-paying jobs for Sault residents. The Liberal plan to invest $130 million over the next ten years to build and renew vital public infrastructure, as well as the $29 billion designated transportation infrastructure fund, make important investments in workers that support our industry and keep our city moving forward.” 

- Dino Biasucci, President, Sault Ste. Marie Construction Association

“Local infrastructure projects help to create good jobs in our city, and under David’s leadership there have been significant provincial investments in these types of projects in Sault Ste. Marie. A long-term public infrastructure plan will help strengthen our economy and support workers while making our city and even better place to live.”

- Bruce Palmer, Business Manager, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1687
