The endorsements are growing for Federal Conservative Leadership candidate Erin O’Toole with 10 Ontario MPP’s backing his bid, including Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli.

In a release, Fedeli is quoted as saying O’Toole has demonstrated he is committed to improving healthcare access in northern Ontario and across northern Canada.

Fedeli also says O’Toole has committed to ending the jobs crisis across Canada and to keep northern communities safe by doubling defence spending with targeted northern initiatives.

The Federal Conservatives choose their next leader in May.
