The Minister of Natural Resources says the NDP is misleading Northerners on MNR transformation. Minister David Orazietti is responding to a recent media release from an NDP member that MNR internal reorganization will hurt Northern Ontario by downsizing staff. He notes the province returned 40-million dollars to the MNR base funding. He notes that during the 1990's the NDP government hacked more than 107-million dollars from the MNR budget and 23-projects and offices were closed across the province.
