Critical Vote on Future of Mining Industry

A key vote that could result in another blow to the Northern Ontario economy is being held in the House of Commons tonight. (Wednesday)
MP’s are scheduled to vote on Bill C-300, a Private Member’s Bill dealing with corporate accountability for mining companies.
The Bill will allow anyone to submit a complaint against a Canadian mining company with little or no reason.
Kenora MP Greg Rickford says the Legislation could force some companies to move their corporate operations to outside of Canada.
Rickford says he won’t support Bill C-300 because it will hurt Canadian mining and will have a negative impact on the Northern Ontario economy.
