WILLIAMS LAKE — Cariboo-Prince George Conservative MP Todd Doherty has some harsh words for Prime Minster Justin Trudeau’s government and its response to last year’s devastating wildfire season.

He took to YouTube this week to express his displeasure following a tour of the fire-ravaged Williams Lake area.

“This is our farmland, this is our forestries. These are families that are still left with a lot of uncertainty,” he said. “And it’s very frustrating for me to be at home this last while, to see the budget that was tabled recently, and nothing for wildfire mitigation or natural disaster mitigation. How are we going to put the lives of all of my residents and my constituents in the riding of Cariboo-Prince George back together?”
