“What we’ve achieved together with Northern Ontarians in the past eight years is nothing short of
amazing,” Dr. Whiting said. “Today, we’re building new hospitals, training more doctors,
expanding broadband high-speed internet to remote communities, and providing our youngest
with the best possible start through full-day kindergarten. We’re on track. But there is more to
do.”

Northern Ontario families meet the challenges we face as we emerge from the global recession.Some of the key elements of the plan for Northern Ontario include:
Increasing the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund to $110 million and increasing the number
of jobs created to 4,000 a year;
Completing a multi-modal transportation plan for road, air and marine links that move
products and people throughout the North. The ONTC will be an integral part of that plan;
Providing more family health care for underserviced areas;
Streamlining administration of the Northern Health Travel Grant to improve response
times and let Northerners apply online.

“These are uncertain times for the global economy. These are challenging times for our families. This is our plan to help. This is our way forward, together,” Dr. Whiting said.The Hudak PCs’ record is disastrous. When Tim Hudak was Northern Development Minister inthe Mike Harris government, he helped the PCs download $3 billion onto cities and towns,triggering property tax hikes and massive cuts to public services.Today, the Hudak PCs have a $14 billion hole in their platform — that means deep cuts that willput our economy, education and health care at risk. The Horwath NDP would introduce acrushing $9 billion in job-killing taxes. Both would take Ontario off track at the worst time.
