The Ontario Bar Association has submitted extensive comments on the proposed changes to the Mining Act. The OBA calls on the province to provide greater clarity on who must do what, especially in the area of aboriginal consultation:
“Clarifying the requirements for proponents, the role of government and the rights of stakeholders, including aboriginal groups, is increasingly crucial if Ontario is to be home to a responsible, stable and efficient mining sector that successfully competes for investment money and jobs.”
PS, we apologize for our server hiccups in the last day.
