MP Lobb feels infrastructure spending for rural communities an "insult"
Shaun Gregory
Seaforth Huron Expositor
The numbers for the federal
spending on infrastructure are
out for the country; these find-
ings are listed on reports of
the latest economic update or
more identified as the "fiscal
projections," and from conver-
sations with Huron -Bruce
MP Ben Lobb, rural commu-
nities are getting shafted.
Sometimes these numbers
are provided in late winter or
early spring, this year they
came in the fall. Conveyed
by the Minister of Finance,
Bill Morneau, he detailed
that there will be $81 billion
in expenditures over a span
of 11 years for infrastructure.
From 2016-2017 to 2027-
2028 roughly $25 billion will
go towards public transit,
nearly $22 billion a piece for
green and social infrastruc-
ture, trade and transporta-
tion will see about $10 bil-
lion and lastly what
frustrates Lobb most is the
$2 billion for rural and
northern communities.
"You think about how vast
the country is to allocate
those amounts. (It's) an
insult and if you ask rural
Ontario MP's, since the Lib-
erals have got in, there has
been no infrastructure at all,
a few if any," stated Lobb
November 3 who also men-
tioned this year's infrastruc-
ture updates are lower than
the previous forecasts.
Lobb fears are that this recent
economic update is heading in
the direction of what he calls an
"anti -rural" theme.
Another issue that worries
the long-time politician is
the progress for the econ-
omy that's predicted.
"The unfortunate thing is
economic growth, and this is
not my numbers, it's theirs,
it's black and white in their
fall update," said Lobb.
"Growth is 1.8 per cent until
2021, that's a problem."

Purple Grove Women's Institute to focus on fundraising for scholarship
The November meeting of
the Women's Institute was
held at the Purple Grove
Community Centre.
Our President Janet Rhody
welcomed all members and
guests. Wilma Sutton shared
the Scripture.
The ladies who attended
the Bruce County Rally
and the Grey -Bruce Area
Convention in October
reported from these meet-
ings. One of the items
coming out of these meet-
ings was a need to raise
funds for our scholarship
fund. Some of the mem-
bers brought items for a
Silent Auction. It was well
received. Janet Rhody vol-
unteered to lay the wreath
at the Remembrance Day
Service. Mary Anne Kukoly
reported on the successful
catering for the Ripley and
District Lions. She thanked
Diane Clifford, Fran
Farrell, Janet R. and Wilma
S. and all the others who
helped.
Our Convener Diane Clif-
ford introduced the guest
speaker Yolanda Cameron
from Walkerton. She spoke
about our theme of mental
health. We all appreciated
her courage in speaking
about the organisation Wes
for Youth. Their mission
statement is "to provide
wellness and emotional
support for youth through
online professional counsel-
ling in a safe, secure, and
confidential manner." She
told us about the free online
counselling that is available
to all of youth between
13-24. Diane thanked her for
all help in understanding
this complex issue.
Marilyn Reid and Mary
Anne provided lunch and a
great time of fellowship
followed.
"Trump in the U.S. is talk-
ing four per cent"
Lobb concluded with say-
ing he will be "pushing" on
PM, Justin Trudeau, Momeau
and the infrastructure minis-
ter until more money is prom-
ised to rural communities.
