Rickford Defends Budget/FedNor Funding


A bit of a war of words has broken out between two M.P.'s from northwestern Ontario over funding for FedNor.

Kenora MP Greg Rickford says a claim from Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty that FedNor was ignored in the Federal budget is a "bold face lie".

Rickford says the NDP should take some time to read the entire budget.

The minister responsible for the regional economic agency says he continues to make the rounds in the area making FedNor announcements.
