New Mining Act Now The Law

Ontario's phase two Mining Act changes officially go into effect today. Minister of Northern Development and Mines, Rick Bartolucci tells our newsroom, the biggest changes will be to the communication level between First Nation communities, mining companies and the government. Bartolucci says the government has brought a 100 year old piece of legislation into the 21st century. The Nishnawbe Aski Nation declined our request for an interview on the Mining Act.
