First,,, I want to say thanks to those that are attending the PDAC and then sharing with us all, what they see/have heard/learned.
From some of the post's on this forum I have extracted these comments ....
In my opinion: Credibility is on the line with Coutts/Gravelle/Trudeau as to if this project gets the start it deserves...
Coutts Extract:
He also reminded the audience that Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne has pledged support to the Ring Of Fire by promising a billion dollars in infrastructure funding. And Coutts said that is what will enable the road project.
“I spend my time with the provincial government and with the communities advocating for the development of infrastructure. Right now the discussion has expanded to include the federal government, which is very interested in participating as well,” he said
Gravelle extracts:
Gravelle stresses they are working hard to move the project forward.
He notes they are also expecting results shortly on the Community Corridor Study on whether an East-West or North-South travel route should be established
Justin Trudeau’s federal government hasn’t even issued its first budget yet. But Michael Gravelle said he is already “very encouraged” it will play a strong role in development of Ontario’s “Ring of Fire” mineral belt.
“I’m feeling very positive about the federal government role coming forward with the Ring of Fire,” Gravelle, Ontario’s minister of northern development and mines, said in an interview.
Gravelle said he has a good working relationship with James Carr, the federal natural resources minister, and expects to have more discussions with him regarding the Ring of Fire this week at the PDAC show.
