Mixed Views on Passage of Provincial Budget

The PC Candidate for Kenora-Rainy River Riding is disappointed with the NDP's decision to support the Liberal's budget.

Randy Nickle says it's like the NDP just wanted to get it over with.

Nickle says there's really nothing special that's being provided for Northwestern Ontario.

However,  Northern Development and Mines Minister Michael Gravelle is happy to see the budget passed, since several initiatives in the fiscal document will help northerners.

The budget passed by a vote of 64 to 36 yesterday.
