Lethbridge MP gives Federal budget failing grade
LETHBRIDGE – On the heels of the Federal Liberal budget that was delivered Wednesday (Mar. 22), Lethbridge MP Rachael Harder took some time to speak with Lethbridge News Now.
She gave it a failing grade, saying the focus is on large city centres across the country, with very little for smaller cities like Lethbridge.
When asked specifically about funding that will help young Canadians attain student loans and advance their education, she said she would have preferred an emphasis on creating jobs for those trying to enter the workforce.
“The way that we make that possible for them is by supporting our job creators, and our job creators are the small businesses and the industries within Canada that are going to move forward with science and technology and innovation,” stated Harder. “They’re going to be the ones who are going to create those jobs that young people are going to school in order to seek after.”
