Carol's Posts

My office in Elliot Lake has moved.  I have joined with Algoma-Manitoulin MPP, Michael Mantha, to provide a one-stop office to better serve our constituents. 
The new office is located in the Upper Mall:
Unit 1 - 151 Ontario Ave.
Elliot Lake, ON P5A 2T2.

Also, my 800 for the Elliot Lake office has changed.  The new number is:
1-855-297-4200

The office location and 800 number in Kapuskasing remain the same.

Ottawa – Canadians never voted to gut environmental regulations and protective legislation like the Fisheries Act but that is what the government is doing with its omnibus budget according to Carol Hughes.  The MP for Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing says the budget is stuffed with so many environmental regulatory and legislative changes it is being referred as a Trojan horse. 

OTTAWA – Government claims that the budget is helping families are way off base according to Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing, MP Carol Hughes.   In the MP’s opinion it seems more that families are being targeted.  

Hughes put the government claim on the hot seat and showed how the cuts are reckless and will hurt families in more ways than one in the House of Commons on Tuesday.

OTTAWA – The government is missing the mark with changes to Old Age Security that will punish those people who need the program the most says New Democrat MP, Carol Hughes.

On the one-year anniversary of the last federal election, Hughes reminded the House that it was New Democrats who ran a campaign to lift seniors out of poverty and wagered the government would never have convinced enough voters to give them a majority if they had explained their plan for OAS to the electorate.

We hear much about what hindrance regulations can be these days.  How less regulation will help our economic engine roar to life and spread wealth throughout the land.   If you allow yourself to be swept up in the message it can feel as if you are listening to a sermon based on the story of Davey and Goliath. Upon closer inspection, you can see that the roles have been reversed and there is much of an advertiser’s edge to the claim that cutting red tape is the cure for our economic problems.
