Half of the workforce at C-B-C Radio in Thunder Bay are facing layoffs. The elimination of six employees are part of 800 being cut by the public broadcaster across the country.
Thunder Bay-Rainy River M-P John Rafferty calls the cuts unnecessary and places blame on the Harper Government.
"Harper is more than happy to run a $70 billion deficit over the next two years," argues Rafferty, "yet he doesn't think it makes sense to offer the CBC a repayable loan of $60 million to protect local jobs and services."
