Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey is critical of what was missing from the Manitoba Government throne speech. 

He says that as a northern MLA, there’s really not a whole lot in there that would excite somebody from the north. 

Lindsey added that there’s no mention of stimulating the mining economy, and that health care is always a big issue in the north yet there’s really no mention of it at all. 

The NDP labour critic says they talked a little about their Look North initiative, which he said is a plan to have a plan to have a plan but it’s not doing anything.

Lindsey adds we need some positive steps for the north now, not just a plan to have a plan.
