Layton stops in Regina

Mar 28, 2011 | 12:46 PM

Jack Layton leaned on his cane for support while shaking hands at a stop in Regina, but his cries for change have not weakened.

He told a crowded room of supporters that Ottawa hasn't been there for Saskatchewan since last year's flooding.

Layton said his party has a bill that would bridge the divide over the controversial gun registry.

“To try to deal with some of the legitimate concerns people have about the registry and to try to actually make some progress forward,” he said.

Layton said he believes scandals in the Senate and a former cabinet minister lobbying illegally shows the Tories have failed to clean up Ottawa.

For this province to be better represented, Layton said, the Tory MPs have to go.

“We’re building for the future here,” he said.

This is Layton’s first stop in the province while on the campaign trail.
