OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney is in Terrace, B.C., Thursday to announce the next batch of major projects the government is submitting for possible fast-track approval.
Multiple sources have told The Canadian Press the Crawford nickel mine in northern Ontario will be among the projects Carney announces he is forwarding to the new Major Projects Office.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Wednesday he was pleased to hear the project was among those selected, but lamented the lack of progress on other projects.
"Let's get out of our way when it comes to the Ring of Fire," Ford said, referring to planned mining projects in northern Ontario.
"We need to be talking about large-scale nuclear, and I don't know if we're going to hear about that but that's a key area we need investment on."
