Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he is confident there are tangible solutions to challenges facing the North following his first trip to the Northwest Territories.
Singh met with residents and leaders in the territory this week following a visit to Yukon. He said they discussed the high cost of living, lack of affordable housing and health-care shortages.
He said among those he met were two nurses who shared concerns about understaffing and the lack of resources for front-line health-care workers. He also spoke to a young couple who said they have good jobs but struggled to find affordable housing. Singh said he believes health-care and housing issues in the North can be tackled and pledged to push for action from the federal government.
