Province the Target of Another Mining Lawsuit

Ontario tax payers will be on the hook following the latest lawsuit against the province.

NDP Northern Development and Mines Critic Michael Mantha is reacting to news that North Superior Resources out of Sudbury has filed a 110-million-dollar lawsuit.

The company says the government has failed to discharge its "constitutional duty" to engage First Nations on
its behalf, and claims they have now lost their right to explore a vast area of northwestern Ontario.

Mantha says this will result in a great loss of revenue and jobs.
