Flin Flon MLA Tom Lindsey says he doesn’t see much in the budget for the north. He says our health care in northern Manitoba not just Flin Flon but everywhere is a disaster and he really didn’t see them commit to doing anything to fix that.  He notes they talked about infrastructure money for highways but every highway they listed wasn’t anywhere close to us and certainly we know that number six and sixty all need attention.  He points out one thing that may be interesting is their Venture Capital Fund to see what that does, whether that translates into any mining companies becoming more interested noting certainly minerals are key to this electric future so we’ll see what that turns into if it turns into anything.

Lindsey adds the spending on health care doesn’t even keep up with the rate of inflation and they generally under spend what they say they’re going to spend.
