A change of heart for the federal government regarding the future of inland Coast Guard bases.
The Minister of Fisheries and Oceans says there is no intent to close bases, including one based in Kenora for Lake of the Woods.
Kenora MP Bob Nault says there was a review in place, but that didn’t mean the bases were going to close.
Nault says the federal government also just announced a major investment in Coast Guard services, so it didn’t make sense there would be a reduction.
