Richmond’s PC candidate said healthcare, housing, and infrastructure are his biggest concerns.
Trevor Boudreau is carrying the Tory banner in the new protected riding.
Boudreau told The Hawk he’s heard a lot knocking on almost 1500 doors.
“We hear a lot about healthcare and certainly rural has its struggles,” he said. “We’re short doctors, we don’t have access to proper mental healthcare, our long-term care facilities are struggling.”
Boudreau said healthcare isn’t the only issue for people in the riding.
He said he’s also heard a lot about housing and infrastructure.
“Something people aren’t maybe necessarily knowing much about is affordable housing, and housing in general, is really creeping up here,” he said. “That’s a big struggle I’m hearing a lot about.”
He said cell coverage, internet, and roads are essential infrastructure for rural areas.
Boudreau was selected to represent the PCs in the riding almost a year ago, in August 2020.
He was one of the first candidates declared in the province.
