Re: cow is out of the barn

 


From the article


At present, its development has stalled in face of uncertainty about government support, private investor commitment, and difficult negotiations with First Nations’


I would say the day Govt and FN negotiations say anything, something positive that private investor commitment will come in abbundance.

Re: the quiet-Study complete

Agreed Babjak1 that the EW corridor was complete ages ago and FN have had input, but I don't think all FN have given approval to the EW route. The Govt must be in a very difficult position as the road corridor can not pass through all the FN territory, when they make road decisions not only for the ROF but the North they want to be sure FN are satisfied that a fair counseltation has taken place. Faster the better to me just sense Coutts plans may be set back 1 more year, hope i'm wrong.

Re: the quiet

 


Improving transportation in Northern Ontario is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.


Quick facts



  • The strategy is being developed in partnership with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines.

  • There will be additional opportunities for the public to provide input before the strategy is finalized by the end of 2017.


 


Again I think these words apply to the ROF and at best we won't hear anything until this time next year
