Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli has been acclaimed as the Progressive Conservative candidate for next year’s provincial election.

Fedeli says he will be working this year on his new private members bill, which if passed will make it mandatory fro students to pass a financial literacy course in Grade 10.

Provincially, he says the party will be exposing the government’s waste, mismanagement and scandals and show why a change of government is needed in Ontario in 2018.

Fedeli says he will continue to work for the people of Nipissing, like he did last year, as his private members bill on the Patch4Patch program is beginning to have an an impact.

He says he also led the fight to stop the dramatic increase in cost of prescription drugs for seniors.

Fedeli says it’s an honour to serve the people of Nipissing and he looks forward to continue that work this year and beyond.

He’ll be looking to win Nipissing for the third straight election, after previously winning in 2011 and 2014.
