NEWS RELEASE

MPP ROSS ROMANO

*************************
“Today I was welcomed into Ontario’s Legislative Assembly for my first day of Parliamentary duty since being elected the Member of Provincial Parliament for Sault Ste. Marie.”

“Upon being elected, I promised to hold Kathleen Wynne accountable on the issues that are important to us. I made clear my commitment to fight for jobs for our community. Development of the Ring of Fire, and a potential Ferrochrome Processing Facility in Sault Ste. Marie is the type of opportunity Sault Ste. Marie families need.”

“Today I kept my promise by challenging the Premier in my first ever question period on this very important economic opportunity for the north.”

The full text of Romano’s question is reproduced herein. To view the full exchange between Romano and the Premier you can click on the link below.

“The Ring of Fire is one of the greatest opportunities Northern Ontario has ever seen. And yet, for eleven years since its discovery, this government has claimed that the North matters, but actions speak louder than words.

All we’ve actually received is announcement after re-announcement; and always during an election year; but no actual progress to date. Leading up to the 2014 election, they promised 1 Billion dollars, but then axed that from this year’s budget.

Recently the Premier made yet another election announcement, but they’ve already taken the money away, and they still haven’t even bothered to ask the federal government for help. It’s just more of the same old story. So Mr. Speaker, will the Premier just admit what we all already know; that these announcements are nothing more than Liberal photo ops to win voter support during an election year?”

“During these last eleven years of inaction on the Ring of Fire, this government has attributed the delay to promises that they were consulting with all of the impacted Matawa communities, the ‘right way’; and to ensuring that all five of those communities were on board with the development. And yet in the Premiers recent development announcement; we learned that she only has the support of 3 of those 5 communities.

Neskantaga and Eabametoong have publicly stated they have not been properly consulted with and they will oppose this development. How has the Premier failed to secure their support as previously promised? And how can the Premier possibly keep this year’s election promise in the face of such opposition?”
