Federal election heats up in Churchill Keewatinook-Aski

With Election Day less than 3 weeks away, things are heating up in Churchill Keewatinook-Aski.

 

Yesterday Liberal candidate for the riding, Rebecca Chartrand said the NDP and Pat Martin have their math wrong when they say the Liberal fiscal plan cuts funding for First Nations education. She said the commitment to First National Education is there in full.

 

Meanwhile, incumbent NDP Niki Ashton put out a challenge to the other candidates for a debate. She said efforts have been made to host debates, but other campaigns have not stepped up.

 

Ashton spoke at the Thompson Chamber of Commerce meeting yesterday outlining her platform, and answering questions. Chartrand will be doing the same at next week’s chamber meeting.
