Bill to Kill the Far North Act fails

The Far North Act isn't going anywhere.

MPP's have voted in support of keeping the controversial Legislation.

Ontario PC Northern Development Critic Norm Miller says the bill has turned Northern Ontario into a virtual museum by banning forestry and mining opportunities.

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Sarah Campbell voted against the Private members bill, noting while the Act is flawed, scrapping it would delay development in the North.
