federal government: Mulcair said cities such as Toronto are vital to Canada's economic growth and require support from the federal government, according to Huffington Post.

TORONTO - Saying successive federal governments have ignored the country's cities, New Democrat Leader Tom Mulcair on Friday said his party would launch national consultations on urban issues. "Unfortunately, today in Ottawa, we've got a government that simply doesn't understand the challenges facing communities like this one," Mulcair said in a speech to the Economic Club of Canada.
