Shawn Poirier
Timiskaming-Cochrane Candidate
Vice-President
I would personally like to reduce MPP wages by 15% or more since Northerners can’t afford to pay high salaries for the MPP. If I can’t reduce the wages I will personally give 15% or more of my pay to multiple organizations such as fire dept, hospital foundations, services clubs, etc… That will benefit directly to the communities they serve.
