Service Canada has announced plans to close several Employment Insurance Claim processing sites in Northern Ontario.
The sites slated for closure by 2014 include Kenora, Thunder Bay, Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay and Timmins.
Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty isn't happy with the cuts and says they come at a bad time considering the economic situation in the region.
The move is meant to centralize services bringing the number of offices in the province down from 24 to 6.
