Bill Walker Says Jobs And Economy Priorities

The MPP for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound says jobs and the economy need to be a priority in 2015.

Bill Walker says he will actively call on the provincial government to balance the budget and reduce debt.  He's convinced school closures, rising hydro rates, and higher taxes are weighing on the minds of Bruce and Grey residents as the province cuts services due to soaring debt.

His 2015 agenda includes ensuring a new hospital in Markdale is built in the next four years, and pushing the province to review the Green Energy Act.

He's calling for better transparency of the Sauble Beach Native Land claim, and he'll advocate for the expansion of broadband services.
