Gravelle Defends Tuesday's Provinicial Budget

The Provincial Government is not touching the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund.

The Drummond report called on the Government to move the Fund and combine it with other economic development corporations.

Natural Resources minister Michael Gravelle says Heritage funding will stay at 100-million dollars.

Gravelle adds that the Provincial budget will also preserve the Northern Industrial Electricity rate for at least one more year.
