I hardly think it is fair to place blame for the fast ferries or private sector job loss on someone who was not even in government when these unfortunate events took place. I think it would be more appropriate to look at the record of this candidate through the work she has done during her tenure as an MP. In her first term, she was a stark advocate for women's rights and fought tirelessly for the protection of public health care. More recently, she has taken action on criminal justice reform through numerous private member's bills and has done some remarkable work on Afghanistan as the National Defence Critic for the NDP. There is no reason to believe that she will not bring this commitment to positive social change into provincial politics.
