Poverty Discussed in Fort Frances

The issue of poverty is the focus for Liberal MP Ken Dryden who is in town as part of a tour through northwestern Ontario.
Dryden is meeting with various groups this morning as part of his efforts to gather information
toward a Liberal strategy.

Dryden says its something he's been doing since January to find how governments can do better in dealing with those less fortunate.

"We say we want to do better. We think we're a generous people so why don't we do better?" says Dryden. "What kind of plan can we set in motion that would help a bigger impact than the kind of impact before?"

Last night, Dryden spoke to about 50 party faithful at a Liberal fundraiser at Little Beaver Snow Park.
