Regarding the Eagle’s Nest…

Regarding the Eagle’s Nest EA Exemption (ERO 025-0396), Native leaders are not saying outright no, they just want to be part of it. The Premier has yet to reach out directly to the community to discuss plans and until he does, Government promises of prosperity ring hollow. I say to the Premier, Native people in this area have been under a boil-water advisory for more than 28 years — the longest continuous boil water advisory in the country, which only the community's leadership decides when to lift. There's also a housing crisis — the fly-in community of about 350 people needs at least 100 more houses and many live in cramped conditions. The Premier must improve these conditions before moving on to his plans to enrich Ontarians with his mining plans.
