In the legislature Friday, the PC Opposition attacked the MacLauchlan Government’s record on rural development.
It also suggested moving some provincial government jobs to rural areas. The PC Opposition says only 11% of provincial government positions are in Kings County, and 8 percent are in West Prince.
The Rural and Regional Development Minister says they’re always looking for opportunities to support rural areas, and points to the past movement of departments to Montague and Summerside; and a new Holland College facility in Alberton.
