FedNor Subject of Private Members Bill

A New Democrat is asking Kenora MP Greg Rickford to support a private members bill that makes FedNor an independent economic agency for Northern Ontario.

Claude Gravelle is expected to table the bill in the House of Commons this afternoon.

Gravelle says an independent agency would speed up the application process.

Gravelle notes right now FedNor is in the hands of a "meddling Minister".
