What has our MP done for our area?
Over the past two years what exactly has James Lunney and his government contributed to the everyday lives of our local constituency here in Port Alberni? What proof do we actually have to show that he is really fighting for us in Ottawa?
Take an issue such as day care, where nearly 60% of all Canadian children are in some form of child care (2006 census), and parents only receive an extra 100 per month per child under the age of six.
This doesn't even take into account the children that are over the age of six or the overall cost of child care which can often exceed 1000 per month. Clearly this miniature 'handout' from the government is no REAL support at all for local parents!….
