Northern Help On the Way

Premier Dalton McGuinty is promising some relief for the north in tomorrow's budget.

McGuinty wouldn't go into details about the exact measures northerners can look forward to, but says they will go beyond anything announced in the throne speech.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says it's about time the government came up with some sort of plan for the north, but adds this attempt will likely be seen by northerners as a last-ditch attempt by Liberals to show they care about communities they have ignored for years.
