The McGuinty government is getting heat from the Chamber of Commerce
because it said so little about the Ring of Fire mining development in
the budget. However MPP Michael Gravelle says the development is not
being put on the back burner and continues to be a priority for the
McGuinty Government. Gravelle says one highlight of the budget that
especially pleases him, is the continuation of the Northern Ontario
Heritage Fund as a stand alone organization.
