NDP MP Floating the Idea of a Great Lakes Minister
With a Liberal minority government now declared, an MP in Windsor West may be able to leverage his idea to establish a Great Lakes Ministry. NDP MP Brian Masse, along with two other candidates, proposed the idea for a Great Lakes Minister with the goal of having a point person specific to Great Lakes issues. Masse would like to see a dedicated advocate to improve coordination and to ensure that the Great Lakes do not get lost in the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans and Coast Guard. Masse is also a champion of the NDP pledge to boost the federal Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund to help municipalities improve their infrastructure to mitigate the effects of climate change.
