Bombardier deal draws criticism

The City of Thunder Bay will benefit from the province's eight billion dollar investment in a new transit line across Toronto. Premier Dalton McGuinty says cars for the light rail line will be built in our Bombardier plant. Meanwhile, the Union Rep for workers at the Bombardier plant in Thunder Bay isn't happy with the plan. Paul Pugh says Toronto Mayor Rob Ford stong armed this deal. Pugh adds the new deal will take work away from Bombardier a reduction from the original contract. Thunder Bay Atikokan MPP Bill Mauro says he's looking into how this will impact the Bombardier plant.
