The Green Party has announced its Candidate for Thunder Bay-Rainy River.
Former research scientist Ed Shields says with science based jobs in our future, Parliament is in need of someone with his expertise.
"I just thought we that need scientists in Parliament," says Shields. "I looked and there's no PH.D. scientists in Parliament. We have all of these issues that deal with science that we need to be worked on yet none of the Parliamentarians have any experience in that."
Shields says northwestern Ontario has great potential for jobs in the bio technology industry.
