Tories and Liberals critical over Ring of Fire development

Two Opposition members aren’t impressed with the Liberals talking about its Development Corporation yet again to advance the Ring of Fire.  The NDP’s northern development critic Mike Mantha says the Ring of Fire is no further ahead now under the Liberals than it was five years ago.  Mantha says what we have are four civil servants that will sit on a board and more empty promises.  Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli says the Liberals still haven’t said what role industry, First Nations and the ONTC have in the Ring of Fire.  Fedeli says the Liberals have announced the Development Corporation six times in nine months and the Ring of Fire is still in limbo.
