"Briefing material for Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act, says the province has been told repeatedly that "transportation infrastructure for the Ring of Fire region should be supported by the private sector interests involved in the project."

"Federal infrastructure money can't flow to the region without a specific funding request from the provincial government, and so far the Ontario Liberals haven't filed the necessary paperwork: Infrastructure Canada said it has yet to receive any applications for projects in the Ring of Fire, and the provincial auditor general criticized the Ontario Liberals for failing to apply for funding."

"The current government claims to be more activist. It still is in the situation where (mining) is a provincial jurisdiction and they're talking about infrastructure projects, but they don't actually have a plan as nearly as I can tell" for the area, Robinson said"
