Sarnia-Lambton MP Pat Davidson is confident southwestern Ontario won't be ignored, even though a new Federal Economic Development Agency will be headquartered in Kitchener. Davidson says there are only four other development agencies in the country, so southern Ontario is lucky to have one all to itself. Despite being under the same umbrella as cities like Hamilton and Toronto, she says one billion dollars in stimulus funding will be dished out fairly. Davidson says she's trying to bring federal Minister of State Gary Goodyear to the area for meetings on how to best utilize the agency. The so-called Fed-Dev centre in Kitchener will help with restructuring, community and business development, and economic diversification.
