Since PDAC introduction, Building More Mines Act flies quickly through legislature
The Ford government’s Building More Mines Act is now law. Bill 71, an amendment to Ontario’s Mining Act, received royal assent on Thursday.
Provincial Mines Minister George Pirie’s tag line in introducing the bill on March was that “15 years is not acceptable" to open a mine. The passage of this bill was not without protest from the NDP, the Green Party, environmental activists and many Indigenous leaders across the North and Ontario. First Nation leadership argued they were not consulted on this coming bill, which was made public just before the start of the PDAC mining conference in early March.
