RE:Harper This is what PM Harper said:
"This is a project that is primarily under provincial jurisdiction because ultimately resources belong to the provinces and resource development is a provincial responsibility," Harper said.
"Obviously we have been talking to Ontario over the past few years in terms of regulatory approval processes, in terms of infrastructure investments and in terms of making sure First Nations continue to benefit," he told reporters.
"The jurisdiction here is primarily provincial, and ultimately it is private companies themselves that have to make commercial decisions on the viability of projects."
Harper will be very busy with Sudbury, etc Vale & Glencore mergers. They all have the ROF very much in mind and the growing KWG Glencore Chromite Gas Powered PyroMet relationship to make Ferro Chrome. Glencore's recent invitations for visiting its S Africa Chromite Mines & Processing Plants is very telling.
