NORTHERN ONTARIO
In the last two and a half years, your New Democrat MPs have
fought foreign takeovers, stood up for workers, and worked to
make life in Northern Ontario more affordable.
Now, more than ever, Northerners need a strong team of MPs who
will put their families first. Our Northern Ontario New Democrat
team is ready.
Together, we’ll build strong communities with good jobs, so
our young people don’t have to leave home to find work. We’ll
support our natural resources and clean energy sectors right here in
Northern Ontario. And we’ll develop a mining strategy that lets
communities benefit directly from their natural resources.
We’ll also help make your life more affordable, by eliminating the
federal sales tax on home heating, capping credit card rates, and
reducing small business taxes.
Finally, we’ll fight every day to improve the front-line health
services right here in Northern Ontario.
I’m proud of the work New Democrats are doing to put Northern
Ontario families first. But there is so much more we can do.
It’s time to roll up our sleeves, and work together to make it
happen. Jack Layton
