Ford is visiting northern Ontario on the last weekend of the provincial election campaign.
Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford highlighted his promise to speed up project approvals in the mineral-rich Ring of Fire on Saturday as he visited northern Ontario on the last weekend of the provincial election campaign.
Ford has said that a re-elected Progressive Conservative government would push Ottawa to remove “unnecessary federal barriers and red tape” from major projects under provincial jurisdiction in order to “unlock the enormous economic potential” of the Ring of Fire. The Progressive Conservative leader also announced $3 billion of new money toward a program meant to support First Nations equity participation, billed as a tripling of an existing loan guarantee program.
The leaders of the other major parties have said the election is unnecessary given that Ford already held a majority and they would have supported stimulus measures in response to possible U.S. tariffs.The party leaders fanned out across the province Saturday as the campaign entered its last stretch before Thursday’s vote.
