I like the The Open Ontario Plan.....

Hon. Michael Gravelle:

" Indeed, we are very excited about the potential opportunities, and the fact that it is part of our Open Ontario plan is extraordinarily exciting.

I certainly would invite the member to join us. I know that you were at the Prospectors and Developers Association convention in the last couple of days. We appreciate you being there-one of the most successful in years. The fact is, you heard from many people who were speaking about our government of Ontario's plan to support and promote the Ring of Fire development. So indeed, we want to have you onside for this.

This is something that needs to be managed in an appropriate fashion. In terms of our opportunities that we have, we are going to be working with our First Nation communities, working in terms of making sure it's environmentally sustainable. But there is no question-you can go down to the convention and meet with the many aboriginal leaders who are there. They're also very excited about the opportunities that are there.

This is about finding a way to take advantage of an opportunity that we haven't seen in the province of Ontario in 100 years, and I am just thrilled that our government is promoting its development."
