The Liberal government at Queens Park is getting criticized for the way it's handling mining in the province. In the legislature Vic Fedeli of the Progressive Conservatives noted that Ontario's credibility in mining has been taking a hit over the last decade.
Fedeli also notes that the Far North Act has cut off half of northern Ontario from being explored, causing many companies to move out of the province.
He's also worried the government will want to tax the chromite coming out of the Ring of Fire, deterring exploration.
