Kenora-Rainy River M.P.P. Sarah Campbell is accusing the provincial government of throwing away taxpayers money.Campbell is angry Minister of Northern Development and Mines Rick Bartolucci has agreed to pay God's Lake Resources 3.5 million dollars for its mining claims in the Big Trout Lake area.
Campbell suggests the government could have avoided the expensive pay-out if it had convened a joint panel, as promised back in 2009 to resolve outstanding issues between the community and God's Lake.
She says Ontario has to be the only province in Canada where a mining company can make a substantial profit without having to break ground.
