The Nor-Man region continues to be ignored by Ottawa.
That’s the message from Niki Ashton in her latest MP report.
Ashton said that the recently announced federal budget is “disconnected from the reality of many communities in our region”.
She said that the federal budget focuses on initiatives to help people move more money from their RRSP’s to buy their first homes, while many here in the north don’t have RRSP’s to begin with.
Ashton says that the document does virtually nothing to deal with the housing crisis, which includes issues like mould contamination and over-crowding.
She said that next week during question period her message will be clear that “there is no excuse” for ignoring the housing crisis in northern Manitoba.
