Glenn Thibeault M.P. for Sudbury

OTTAWA – New Democrat MP, John Rafferty (Thunder Bay – Rainy River), will be welcoming the NDP Critic for Consumer Protection Glenn Thibeault (Sudbury) to the riding for a pair of meetings aimed at filling the gap created by government inaction and helping area residents better manage their credit card and consumer debt loads.

“Everyone from respected private sector economists to local poverty activists have recognized the threat posed to families and broader society from rising levels of consumer debt, so we are trying to help people deal with it more effectively,” said Rafferty. “Glenn Thibeault has been a strong voice for reforming Canada’s credit regulations. I’m looking forward to having him in the riding to share his expertise with families and individuals who are finding it hard balance their own debt loads and make ends meet.”

Admission to both events is free and all are welcome.
