The new Federal budget came up short for local communities.
That’s the feeling of the Past-President of the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association.
Dave Canfield says even though the Liberals announced a 10% increase in infrastructure funding, they haven’t said now much money the north will see or what it can be used for.
There is now word that infrastructure cash won’t be spent until after Canadians go to the polls next year.
Canfield adds the budget didn’t excite him, noting there wasn’t much for area municipalities.
