When asked why he is running again, Boudreau said the main reason he ran the first time was to get some items moving in health care.

Boudreau said cell coverage is something he stills hears about from residents, adding Inverness and Richmond counties both have poor coverage. He said he is pleased with provincial funding to the tune of around $65 million to tackle the problem, adding he wants to get cell coverage where it needs to be for people to be safe in the communities. Boudreau also pointed to the Strait area’s potential green energy sector, noting he’s been involved in conversations with developers, the local chamber of commerce, and other stakeholders.
