Weston Hosts Pre-Budget Consultations

The Saint John MP is hearing from regional mayors and businesses to get their input on what should or shouldn't be included in the federal budget.
 
Rodney Weston says one clear message he's hearing is that no one wants any cuts to program funding at ACOA.

Weston tells us the efficiencies government must find in this budget will not impact the water project for Saint John.

He says the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance have said that governments are always going to invest in infrastructure and he says that's something they have always worked to ensure.

Weston expects job cuts at the federal level as the government can't continue to grow the way it has.
