Rickford defends federal budget

The federal government is going to have to make some tough choices in the months ahead if it plans to balance its budget by 2014.

Billions of dollars worth of spending is going to have to be cut, but Kenora M.P. Greg Rickford is promising that services will not be affected.

Rickford says overall this week's federal budget provides help for the forest sector, as well as enhancements for the health care system in this region.
