Rickford defends FedNor

Conservative MP Greg Rickford says a Private Members Bill to establish FedNor as a permanent regional economic development agency will do nothing to help the region.  The Kenora MP voted against Bill C-309 in the House of Commons last week.  Rickford says the Liberal motion doesn't have a chance since it requires Royal recommendation.  Rickord says a stand-alone agency would add an increadible amount of buracratic spending and additional staff.
