Tony Clement Addressing Ring Of Fire

Treasury Board President Tony Clement will publicly take on federal responsibility for the massive Ring of Fire mineral discovery today.
He’ll be walking on eggshells as he makes his first speech on the chromite and nickel interest in Thunder Bay this afternoon.
That’s because the Ring of Fire file is not only complex, it is also controversial among environmentalists, First Nations and many communities who would be affected by the large-scale building of infrastructure and possibly decades of mining.
Clement says he is very familiar with the development because he is also the minister for FedNor.
For now, he says his main role is to listen to all interested parties and save decision-making until later.
