Rickford challenges Ottawa to step up on cost sharing Ring of Fire infrastructure
Mining has a place in Justin Trudeau’s green agenda in restoring Canada’s economy.
The prime minister called IAMGOLD’s Cote Gold Mine development “a model” for Indigenous engagement that Ottawa would like to see replicated across the country.
“This is part of reconciliation,” said Trudeau during a Q & A with reporters at the Sept. 11 sod-turning for the mining company’s $1.8-billion open-pit gold project outside Gogama.
