Does this route review amendment not just put a wrench in this previous route nr...if anything it sure muddies the water and perhaps causes putting FN against FN over the route.

An east-west route to the Ring of Fire mining area via Pickle Lake, a potential economic boon to the Northwest, will finally be examined for its merits over the next year.
At this week’s Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) International Conference, FedNor Minister and Canadian Minister of Natural Resources, Greg Rickford, along with Ontario Minister of Northern Development and Mines Michael Gravelle, announced a joint investment of more than $785,000 to fund a study examining the benefits of developing an all-season transportation corridor connecting First Nation communities in the area with existing roadways, enabling them to capitalize on opportunities related to resource development in the region, including the Ring of Fire.
The study will be launched by Webequie First Nation, in partnership with the First Nations of Eabametoong, Neskantaga and Nibinamik.
