All infrastructure projects across North should count towards defence, urges Canadian Federation of Municipalities in report
Nunavut’s member of Parliament likes the idea of expanding the definition of defence spending to include all community infrastructure projects, and plans to share it with her committee colleagues.
Lori Idlout was referring to a recently produced report from the Canadian Federation of Municipalities about the infrastructure gap between the country’s northern and southern regions.
She called it a “great report” that “accurately reflects what the needs are in the North” in an interview Friday with Nunatsiaq News.
