Province Invests In ELA For The Long Term

A report in the Globe and Mail says the Ontario government will pay to keep the Experimental Lakes Area operating in the long term.
The province and the federal government continue to negotiate the transfer of the research station to the Winnipeg-based International Institute for Sustainable Development.
There have been concerns that the provincial involvement would only be one-time funding.
Ontario Natural Resources Minister David Orazietti tells the Globe and Mail that the money will be below 2-million dollars but isn’t commenting on a specific number.
The exact funding formula hasn’t been determined.
A tentative transfer agreement expires at the end of August.
