This is what concerns me the most..."Meanwhile, Mauro said there would be a lot of planning processes, assessments and consultation needed. But the ruling does help clarify that the authority to grant easements rests with his ministry." This minister is a prima donna who seeks the the spotlight. He's going to milk this authority to enhance his own political stature. We lose twice ... by the court(influenced by Ont gov't) and now a myoptic minister holding the trump card. IMO KWG needs to get an agreement with the other mining companies ASAP and get the "public interest" option off the table.
