Sundhu reiterates NDP promise to provide $3 billion in disaster relief for residents affected by wildfire
KAMLOOPS — The NDP’s leader Jagmeet Singh promised $3 billion over four years to help municipalities like Kamloops respond to disasters like wildfires and floods, which are becoming the new norm.
The promise was made by Singh at a townhall with B.C. Interior residents last week. On Wednesday morning (Sept. 8), the NDP’s candidate for Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Bill Sundhu, along with the party’s house leader Peter Julian, reiterated Singh’s promise.
Sundhu says people in the Southern Interior impacted by the third worst wildfire season on record in B.C. need more immediate assistance in their recovery.
