ACOA and Rural Economic Development Minister, and the MP for Long Range Mountains, Gudie Hutchings joined Bayfm’s Lenny Benoit this morning to talk about what this budget means for people. She says this is great news for people living in her district and is focused on helping folks with the costs of daily living. building homes and growing the economy to create more jobs. She says Marine Atlantic is getting money to keep fares where they are and for the building replacement in Port aux Basques. She says small craft harbours will also get funding for repairs and maintenance, and there is still work to be done in the wake of Hurricane Fiona. The Minister says student loan forgiveness for doctors, nurses, practitioners and early learning and childcare workers is now being extended to other careers. This includes dentists, pharmacists, dental hygienists, midwives, teachers, social workers, personal support workers, physiotherapists, and psychologists who work in rural communities, which is every community in NL except St. John’s. Hutchings says there will also be money available in ACOA to support innovative housing solutions and the Artificial Intelligence adaptation in farming, agriculture and manufacturing.
