The goal of creating a new committee for Northern issues at Queen's Park has passed its first hurdle. The motion received all-party support Thursday night in the Ontario Legislature. Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell says she proudly supports the bill saying communities in this region have wanted such a committee for years. She hopes that the Standing Committee on Northern Issues can be created fairly soon to deal with concerns of local residents.
