The Budget Consultation Should Have Been About More Than Money.

Manitoba Finance Minister Scott Fielding was in Flin Flon for a budget consultation yesterday.  Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey says it was too much talk about saving money and not enough about listening to the needs of people.  He explains the health care system in Flin Flon is a disaster as people aren’t able to see doctors, people aren’t able to receive health care, there’s communities north of us, Leaf Rapids and Lynn Lake in particular right now that are paying some of the highest water rates in the province and don’t have clean drinking water , they’re under boil water advisories so the government didn’t talk about any of those communities and what are they going to do to assist them and they didn’t talk anything about economic development for the north.

             

Lindsey adds there has been no information yet on the fund that replaces the Community Mining Reserve Fund or on plans for the Community Economic Development Fund.
