Northern Growth Plan Update

It hasn't been released yet, but there is already concerns being expressed with the proposed Northern Growth plan.

David Lindsay, Northern Development, Mines and Forestry Deputy Minister, says a draft of the economic blueprint for the north should be released by the end of October or early November.

But Lindsay says there is already talk that it will be a grant program for the north which it won't be.

Lindsay says the document should be more about changing attitudes and policies that foster development.
