Nickel Belt’s M-P-P wants the provincial government to do something about Greater Sudbury’s high unemployment rate.

Last week the jobless rate for the city came in at 8.6-percent which is the highest rate in Ontario and the second highest in Canada.

France Gelinas says there are plenty of infrastructure projects, like the Capreol seniors housing complex, NEO Kids and  the development of the Ring of Fire, that are ready to go and could help create good jobs for the Northeast.

Gelinas says in the past when unemployment was high in southwestern Ontario, the province was there to provide resources to spur the economy…she wants that done here in the Northeast.
