Northwest MP's Brace for Throne Speech

The Harper government's Speech From the Throne will be read tomorrow, setting out the agenda for this
session of parliament.

Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty is hoping that some needs of northern Ontario are singled out.

He in particular would like to see funding restored for FedNor.

The NDP member says what we'll likely see is the government backtracking on some old promises they haven't met and creating new ones.
