Bevington, NDP announce proposal for Nutrition North subsidy program
Jeudi, 2 avril, 2015
CBC NEWS: Northwest Territories MP Dennis Bevington, along with a group of NDP MPs that included Romeo Saganash, Niki Ashton, Charlie Angus, Carol Hughes & Jonathan Genest-Jourdain, announced his party's proposal to fix the highly criticized Nutrition North food subsidy program this morning.
Bevington has been highly critical of the Nutrition North program in the past. Last month, he questioned whether the government has followed through on a promised $11.3 million boost to funding, and asked in parliament last week why the program wasn't available in over 50 northern communities.
