Re:  N/S Road

"The previous Liberal government successfully negotiated with three of the First Nations on an environmental assessment for a north-south road stretching from Nakina to Webequie First Nation."

"Rickford referred to a planned north-south road between Marten Falls First Nation and Nakina, located 350 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay, calling it a “corridor to prosperity.” Marten Falls has already begun planning work."

Re: E/W Road

"In 2017, Wynne unveiled that plan, along with a proposal for an east-west road into the area from Pickle Lake. Chiefs of Nibinamik, Webequie, and Mishkeegogamang First Nations publicly condemned the government"

"the nine First Nations that make up Matawa — five of which are fly-in communities — have different needs and priorities and so would not be affected in the same way by the resource project."

To sum this up....there is no need for two roads.  Those who want a road will get one and those who do not want one will not get one.
