Conservatives Upset With Mining Act Consultations

Progressive Conservative Randy Hillier says the Ontario government is pushing through its reforms to the Mining Act without enough debate.
The government ended discussion on the bill with a vote of 56 to 30.
Hillier, a critic for Northern Affairs, Mining and Forestry, says that it’s too soon to end the discussion because several stakeholders still have problems with the bill.
Hillier is also taking issue with the way hearings were conducted into the Far North Act, a bill that would lock up to 42% of Ontario’s landmass from development.
