The McGuinty Government is making significant strides in Aboriginal consultation in its proposed changes to the mining act.

Minister of Northern Development and Mines Michael Gravelle unveilled the new legislation Thursday.

Gravelle says the act will provide clear rules for industry and reduce the impact of mineral exploration on the environment.

If the legislation is passed, Ontario will begin putting new rules in place later this year.
