NIPIGON, Ont. - Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in northern Ontario fishing for votes today with the announcement of a huge marine conservation area.
Harper said the new park will cover 10,000 square kilometres of Lake Superior's water and shoreline.
The project was started by former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien.
Harper said the park wouldn't have happened without the work of local MP Joe Comuzzi - a former longtime Liberal who crossed the floor this year to join the Conservatives.
After the announcement, Harper and Comuzzi headed to Thunder Bay to meet with local business and community leaders.
The prime minister moves on Friday to Kenora and Dryden where he hopes to steal a seat from the Liberals in the next election.
