Thanks for your online message regarding economic development and opportunities in Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. I appreciate your taking the time to share your views with me.
Our government understands that strong, vibrant northern and rural communities are important to Ontario's economic success and quality of life. These regions have great potential to contribute to Ontario's innovative new economy, but they also face unique challenges that require a focused and coordinated response. That is why our 2008 Ontario Budget provides $508.7 million in strategic initiatives over four years to create opportunities in northern communities and help to secure the region's place in Ontario's changing economy. For further details please visit the Budget website at ontariobudget.ca/English.
I appreciate the specific issues you raised about your community. As they would best be addressed by my colleague the Honourable Sandra Pupatello, Minister of Economic Development and Trade, I have asked the minister to respond to you directly.
Thanks again for contacting me. I value and welcome your input.
Dalton McGuinty
Premier of Ontario
