Feds Open To Talk Infrastructure With Province

Labour Minister Patty Hajdu calls Ontario Premier Ford’s recent comments around public transit projects misleading and deceptive.

Last week Doug Ford said the federal government hadn’t been in contact with him about funding public transit projects that could potentially help Thunder Bay’s Bombardier plant.

Hajdu disagrees saying “what has happened is a series of discussions between the federal infrastructure department and his infrastructure minister, requests for more information have been made a number of times. This is $8.4 billion, of course, there needs to be a plan in place.”

The Labour Minister adds the federal government is awaiting those detailed plans from the province and looks forward to working on them together.
