Thunder Bay-Rainy River MP John Rafferty says northwestern Ontario gets left behind in the Thursday's federal budget.
Rafferty calls it fiscally irresponsible by raising taxes and neglecting the region's forest sector.
"It looks like about $25-million a year for four years," says Rafferty. "That's a drop in the bucket. That doesn't even pay the electricity bill for one plant."
Tonight, Rafferty will host a town hall meeting on the budget at the La Place Rendez-Vous beginning at 7 p.m.
