If the Ontario Government does not move quickly on this project, I can see other alternatives as Mr. Rickford is suggesting.

"Rickford said the federal government would be “loathe” to invest money “to park it in a development corporation that Ontario senior bureaucrats would administer… That’s not an option for us, it’s not an option for the First Nations, it’s not an option for the private sector.”

It is possible for a mining company and a First Nation to partner on a proposal to the Building Canada Fund without the province, Rickford said."
