This week (actually two weeks of updates here this time!) the media focused on the public consultations for determining if the proposed Northern Road Link highway will require a federal environmental assessment, and focused on the Ontario Junior Exploration Program (OJEP) providing government funding to private junior mining companies for mineral exploration. Public comments on the federal environmental assessment will be accepted until March 23. The media articles explained that the road expansion will harm the Yehewin Aski or breathing lands and that the road project currently has a funding commitment from Premier Ford but not the federal government.
