Nothing is going to happen in Northern Ontario without an economic development plan that must have the stamp of approval of our federal and provincial governments.
I have said many times that our 10 MPs and 11 MPPs are not doing their job of getting our federal and provincial government's attention for an aggressive economic development plan for Northern Ontario. The region has every conceivable natural resources that would be needed to build an industrial complex.
Our goal is to formulate economic policies to expand the existing primary industry complex base (i.e., mining, milling, smelting and refining, processing activities) to first-level manufacturing processing and second-level manufacturing industries, e.g, stainless steel work, nickel plating, zinc galvanizing, wire and cable works, copper and brass mills secondary smelting, die casting, sand casting, foundries, iron and steel work, brasses, bronzes alloys, alloys steel and nickel alloys. Policies that will turn our second-level manufacturing into finished products. That would also apply to our forestry industry, value-added manufacturing within Northern Ontario.
To reach the Northern Ontario regional objectives a consensus within the federal and provincial governments will be needed for:
- A national comprehensive industrial strategy and an Ontario government industrial strategy affecting Northern Ontario in general.
- A national comprehensive energy strategy and an Ontario government energy strategy affecting Northern Ontario in general.
- A national comprehensive transportation strategy and an Ontario government transportation strategy affecting Northern Ontario in general.
The federal and provincial governments must have the political will to co-operate to put these economic policies in place; otherwise we are wasting our time talking about the same old issues and seeing no action.
Democracy of the people, by the people, for the people has failed us all.
