The Liberals are claiming that the NDP will ban all development in the Far North. They say the NDP plan to repeal the Far North Act and instead put a climate change plan in place. The Liberals are also against the NDP's mining policy. Northern Development, Mines and Forestry Minister Michael Gravelle says the NDP mining scheme is bad policy that would hurt foreign investment. The NDP plan would make it law that resources that can be processed in Ontario won't be shipped away elsewhere.
