Ashton says 2019 was an eventful year with Canadians electing a very different Parliament with a minority government.  During the election she heard people in our region want real change on housing, health and education.  She says we need real change in terms of economic opportunities ensuring that we in the north get the benefit of the wealth that comes from our region and real action on climate change that is already impacting our north.

Ashton notes a minority government means there is a real opportunity for the government and all parties to make a commitment to the real change Canadians want and need.
