Thursday, June 4, 2015
CBC NEWS: Today was Opposition day in Ottawa — a day where the NDP got to set the agenda — and they made it all about Nutrition North.
Parliament debated a motion introduced by Northwest Territories MP Dennis Bevington. The NDP's proposal for the program includes immediately including nearly 50 fly-in communities that are not eligible for a full food subsidy, as well as issuing a comprehensive review of the program.
Many MPs aren't confident that retailers are passing the food subsidy on to consumers.
