It was stated from the beginning that the Devco bureaucrats were interim folk.

"The interim board will put the necessary structures in place to allow partners to determine their participation in the corporation, it announced..

Gravelle said the latest announcement positions the government to have "real discussions" to determine who the participants in the corporation will be, to get agreements in principle with them and to form a board of what he calls "a mature development corporation" rather than a board of public servants.

That mature board will be make all decisions related to infrastructure — including what type of transportation systems are needed to move ore and people in and out of the area — and how to spend the $1 billion committed by the province for infrastructure.

With the interim board in place and the ROF Infrastructure Development Corporation now a legal entity, the province can have more formal, structured discussions with industry about their participation, said Gravelle."

Greasemonkies..I have no clue what has been done behind closed doors.

If you look at the date of the Devco thingie....It's been over ONE year that this has been formed. Lots of talking and planning can go on in one year.

Don't forget that the Build Canada fund application that the fed's wanted was submitted by the Wynne gov't Dec.14, 2015 with the detail the feds were looking for.

Did any of us get to see this application with it's detailed info? Sadly...no...All secret agent stuff with our tax dollars.

AS I mentioned the current polls suggest a close race and every seat counts this time.

There's been lots of opportunity and time for secret agent talking...and we have no control of the date and time any given announcement will be spewed.

Every party wants to win and they will do whatever is necessary to lean in this direction.
