"Can anyone give me an example of where and when any announcement of funding for a project such as the ROF has been included in an annual budget before?"
Here is one, K (but agreed that these are words for the moment!):
"Quebec will increase its fund to invest in the Plan Nord to $1 billion, from $500 million, taking options and minority equity positions in mining companies, as part of a larger strategy to invest more public money in natural resources.
“The Plan Nord is taking shape,” Bachand said."
I suspect the McGuinty March budget will contain a few words for the Ontario "Plan Nord". Especially following the "Take-our-word-we-will-mine-this-thing" anouncement made by Noront Today...
