MacGregor: Unhappy about Most Recent Economic Update

The Liberal Government has drawn the ire of a local M.P. over its most recent economic update.
Alistair MacGregor believes the most recent update is more about distracting Canadians from Finance Minister, Bill Morneau’s ethics and wealth and less about closing the major loopholes in our tax system.
MacGregor says the Liberals have yet to take any real action in implementing a Pharmacare program, creating more childcare spaces.
MacGregor, the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford M.P. noted that the Liberals, along with support from the Conservatives voted down the N.D.P.’s motion to begin talks about implementing universal Pharmacare in Canada, a public drug plan that could save Canadians an estimated four billion dollars a year.
