In the Legislature this week Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey thanked community members from across the north who participated in the consultation process showing commitment to solving the challenges the north faces.  He says the government’s plan to look north says it all, it’s all looking and no action by the Minister noting he looked north while the railway line was abandoned leaving families in Churchill without affordable access to the rest of the province, he looked north while a construction season disappeared and Churchill hunkered down  for a long expensive winter, he looked north as thousands of workers in The Pas, Flin Flon, Thompson, Churchill and all across the north worry about their jobs disappearing, he looked north as their families struggled to afford rising food costs, he looked north as the Health Minister cancelled plans for clinics and cut the NHRA budget by at least six million dollars and he looked north as communities lost doctors and businesses.

Lindsey concludes by urging the Minister to get to work in the north and start showing a real commitment to our families.
