Yesterday, I was lurking into Twitter under CSF and like a message about a comment on Minister Rickford's and then I got this reply on a private message from president Pellerin:
Mr. xxxx, Thanks for liking my comment on Minister Rickford's post. Northern Ontario sadly requires a lot more than the investment announced by the province. It is on that premise that CSF @FundLtd was structured to make available large sums of money ($400 million +/ year) to Northern Ontario to invest in Northern Ontario businesses and create good paying job which would stop the current trend of depleting population and deteriorating infrastructure. CSF is the first private organization to ever make a sizeable commitment to Northern Ontario but it has been thus far prevented as it requires a simple letter from the Province in order to proceed. Again I thank you and encourage you and your friends to follow us on Twitter. Regards, J-M Pellerin/ President
Me: Does the Ring of fire is part of number of project interests ?
Interesting you mention this, CSF 2 years ago had approached the Wynne government on funding the $550 million road to the Ring of Fire and was informed by then Premier Wynne and Minister Gravelle that they where not interested. Today, Minister Rickford has been very much aware of our offer but fails to want to communicate. The proposed investment into the Ring of Fire was and is in addition to what has been committed to Northern Ontario if CSF can obtain it's simple letter from the Province.
