Northern Ontario Slams Cabinet Shuffle

A Northern Ontario MP is taking a shot a the federal cabinet shuffle.


Julian Fantino is the new Minister for International Co-Operation.

Timmins-James Bay NDP MP Charlie Angus says Fantino has mishandled the fighter jets file for the government, and Harper is signalling his disdain for international aid by moving another inept minister into the job.

Angus says the shuffle should have been a lot bigger if Harper really wanted to signal a cleanup.

Bev Oda resigned Tuesday after a large public outcry and internal Tory caucus dissent over her lavish spending habits.
