Conservative Sarnia-Lambton MP Pat Davidson says the federal budget unveiled Tuesday is of particular importance to border communities like Sarnia impacted by cross border shopping.

She says the budget also boosts funding for defence, security and border services in the fight against terror.
The budget would see the minimum withdrawal amounts for Registered Retirement Income Funds, or RIFFs, reduced to allow seniors to invest their retirement savings for longer and delay paying tax on the money.
There's also a proposed new Home Accessibility Tax Credit to help seniors and people with disabilities with the cost of home renovations designed to make life simpler, and safer.
This is Davidsons final term as Sarnia-Lambton MP.
The past president of the Sarnia-Lambton Progressive Conservative Association is now the the PC candidate for the next federal election set for October 19.
