Ontario’s Liberal leader is pledging to work with local leaders to move the regional economy forward if the party wins the next provincial election.
Steven Del Duca says the current government continues to ignore the needs of northern Ontario, from the four-laning of Highways 11 and 17 to “access to universal public healthcare, to a doctor, or a nurse practitioner.”
Del Duca adds his party would also zero in on what he sees as other key local issues like the environment.
“What the consequences of the climate crisis will mean for your infrastructure and for your quality of life, or mining exploration opportunities, is a critical part of Ontario’s economic future,” he explains.
He feels that can only be done properly if the government listens to the people who bring the advice, guidance, and expertise of the north.
Del Duca believes our area could play a critical role in the post-COVID recovery.
“If we earn the opportunity to govern Ontario and if I become Premier of this province in next year’s election, you have my ironclad guarantee that I will always listen to you, that I will seek your input, I will seek your advice, and I will make sure that I govern our entire province including the Northwest,” Del Duca claims.
He stresses he wants every single person in this province to have the “brightest future possible.”
