Rafferty remembers NDP Leader

Thunder Bay Rainy River MP John Rafferty is shocked by the passing of NDP Leader Jack Layton. The 61 year old died this morning after battling a second round of cancer. Rafferty considers Layton a friend and one of the reasons he decided to enter politics. Rafferty is collecting messages from the riding for the Layton family. The MP's offices are closed today out of respect for the family.
