Union Concerned with MNR Cuts
The Ontario Public Service Employees Union is sounding the alarm over the province's plans for the Ministry of Natural Resources.
President Smokey Thomas says the government has already cut back the MNR to a point that more cuts will jeopardize its ability to respond to emergency situations like forest fires.
Thomas says while the number of firefighters remains untouched, cuts continue in other departments.
