Windsor West Member of Parliament has commented on the state of the downtown Paul Martin Building and the failed deal with the city.

In a letter to Minister of Public Works Diane Finley, Brian Masse lashes out at the government for allowing the building to fall into disrepair.

The New Democrat says "it is shameful that your government has become an irresponsible absentee landlord in our community."

He’s urging the department to go back to the table with the city to become a tenant at the new city hall.
