Tequila,

My thinking is this:

the previous Gov't consulted their guts out..for YEARS!. Tax payers paid heavily for this.

It is this link at stands out in my head the most.

My expectation is an announcement at any time for a Marten Falls led North South Road. North Already had the North south route in their EA since June 2015! The Marten Falls extention from this road to their reserve is a different EA (an extension from the original Noront EA). The same for the Webequie extension.

The previous gov't made it clear. They did their consulting job and are moving forward and are willing to work with any reserve individually. The gov't has every right to construct this road on crown land.  My expectation is construction for this specific road starting in 2019 and announcements can come at anytime to announce this project.

Iaccobucci did his job and moved on.

Look what he did before. He's he one that recruited Iaccobucci.

Additionally, the province is pledging support to Marten Falls to plan and build a road to the community that would link to the highway at Nakina and Aroland First Nation, communities about 275 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay.

Further planning work on a road from Marten Falls north to the Ring of Fire is also being pursued, the province said.

Environmental planning to begin by 2018

Environmental assessments are expected to get underway by January, 2018 with construction — should all approvals be granted — starting in 2019, according to the province.

Since then, the premier has said that First Nations near the Ring of Fire "should not squander" promised funding to develop transportation infrastructure to the James Bay lowlands and that she is willing to work individually with any chief who will work with her.

Neskantaga's relationship with Noront Resources, the largest mining company active in the Ring of Fire, has also notably deteriorated.

On Monday, Wynne denied that communities not included in the newly-announced agreement, like Eabametoong and Neskantaga, are being shut out. "Will we continue to work with all the communities, absolutely," she said.

"If a couple of communities were ready at this point but there will be other communities that are ready a bit farther down the road, then we will work with them," she said.

"I don't think there is any attempt on the part of government or industry to isolate a particular community or to sideline anyone.
