There’s nothing beneficial in the provincial budget for us here in the north.

 

That’s the message from Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey.

 

 

Lindsey says that health care funding has been cut, despite claims from the Pallister Government that health care funding is up.

 

He says that they have not seen anything for a jobs strategy or anything about stimulating mining and the northern economy.

 

Lindsey adds that while a one percent drop in the provincial sales tax is nice, it’s not clear what its cost will be.

 

The NDP MLA says that the tax cut could result in more cuts in areas like infrastructure and health care.
