Fletcher Holds Round Table Discussion

Canada's Minister of State for Transport is touring western Canada getting feed back for a new federal infrastructure program.

Stephen Fletcher met with municipal, tourism and business leaders in Kenora Thursday.
He says the one comment he heard frequently is that the next program needs to flexible to reflect the needs of individual communities.

The current infrastructure program will run out in 2014, and Fletcher says most of the feedback he received yesterday suggests a new program should last for at least 10 years.
