“This represents an incredible opportunity for all concerned, but particularly First Nations communities,” Fontaine said. “The courts have been clear that developments such as the Ring of Fire can’t proceed without the full engagement and participation of Aboriginal people.”

We've known this from the very start when Noront made its momentous discovery at what was soon to be called The Ring of Fire.

However, with Phil Fontaine working as an advisor to Cliffs, the big question is will he be responsible to his People and to Canada's people (e.g., think Ontario Northland) in order realize this incredible opportunity.

Frank Smeenk's company (KWG) decisions have been transparent for everyone including the First Nations People. I hope Phil is also talking to Frank because the FNP will get more honest discussion with Frank vs. BB at Cliffs.

Just my thoughts.
