Dear Terry,
This act is not honorable, and may not be legal since the original bid was linked to supporting education.
On his site it says:
On October 30, 2008, he was appointed Minister of Industry, with responsibilities for competitiveness, innovation, sectoral strategies, and economic development in Northern Ontario. He currently chairs the Cabinet Committee on Economic Growth and Long-term Prosperity, and sits on the Cabinet Committee on Priorities and Planning.
How can this be a competitive edge for education. It is not innovative, but suggests collapsing efforts. Northern Ontario would not be strengthed economically by this action and that location is where he dwells -- Parry Sound -Muskoka country. I used to go there in the summer with my aunt and cousins -- and it is a less populated Cottage area -- although growth is prevalent.
I think a lot of people will need to write to him as it looks like he would have to reverse this decision.
