Rickford Disappointed with Provincial Response to Ring of Fire

The provincial government needs to develop a better working relationship with its partners on the Ring of Fire.

That's the feeling of Greg Rickford, who is the federal government's point man on the massive mining development.

Rickford says they were surprised by the announcement earlier this month of a development corporation for the Ring.

Rickford says he's always had a good working relationship with Mines minister Michael Gravelle, but is accusing the premier of politicizing the Ring of Fire.
