Provincial Liberal leadership candidate, MPP Michael Coteau, took part in a town hall meeting Monday night in North Bay.

He’s holding a series of town halls getting public sentiment on what the key issues are for voters and what the party has to do to attract them for the next provincial election.

“It needs to be a party that’s balanced and not pulled by the extremes on the left or right. It needs to be a party where the majority of the people can participate and build ideas,” Coteau says.

Coteau says he can’t think of any key initiatives the Ford government has brought forward.

In fact, he says people are getting less in the last budget than they were before.

Coteau believes voters may have some ‘buyers remorse’ in electing Doug Ford.

He says people didn’t expect things like child care, education and public health services to be cut.

“And when you get into the space of cutting things like nutrition programs and library services people realize you can’t have the best interests of people at heart,” he says.

Coteau also held a meet and greet with federal Liberal candidate Anthony Rota.
