Fears of Ministry of Natural Resources offices closing in northern Ontario may have been eased a little.The provincial budget shows a slight increase in spending for the MNR.
Minister David Orazietti says there's still some challenges faced, but the budget is positive compared to what was proposed last year with far less than anticipated pressures to reduce staff and the impacts to the Ministry.
Orazietti feels the budget reaches a good balance that supports the MNR in a stable way for the next several years.
