NDP MLA candidate has the floor at Chamber of Commerce meeting

 

As the Province of Manitoba edges closer to Election Day, the Thompson MLA candidates have been given the chance to speak to the Thompson Chamber of Commerce.

 

NDP candidate Steve Ashton had the floor during their meeting yesterday, speaking to those in attendance about a variety of points in his platform, as well as how far things have come with infrastructure during his time as MLA.

 

“When we came into government, the amount being spent in the north, the entire north, I think our share was about 5% of a $90 million budget; about $5 million. This year alone, we’re investing in excess of $200 million, both on new roads and existing roads. And you see the difference, but we’re not done yet.”

 

Ashton would also answer questions from the public after his presentation.

 

Progressive Conservative candidate Kelly Bindle spoke to the Chamber at last week’s meeting, while Liberal candidate Inez Vystrcil-Spence will make her presentation to the Chamber next week.
