Premier said Far North mine and road development will elevate standard of living in remote communities
BRAMPTON — Threats of litigation and conflict aside, Ontario Premier Doug Ford isn’t backing down from his government’s commitment to develop mines in the James Bay lowlands.
The reporter said from his research, mining experts have told him Ontario doesn’t need mining in the Ring of Fire to establish a domestic electric vehicle supply chain. Ford is fresh off the passage in third reading this week of Bill 71, the Building More Mines Act, a piece of legislation designed to quicken the pace of approval and permitting times to put more mines into production quicker. Royal assent is needed before the bill becomes law.
Some Indigenous communities in the James Bay region have strong objections to mining-related development on their traditional lands on the basis of environmental concerns and what they deem inadequate consultation with the provincial government.
