The Globe reported Wednesday, Ottawa and the province are at odds over infrastructure spending. The federal government wants to start announcing projects with its 10-year, $14-billion Building Canada Fund for infrastructure that was announced in the 2013 budget. Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver has been criticizing the province for failing to submit a list of projects for funding. Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford has also said Ontario should include infrastructure projects related to the Ring of Fire mining proposal under the Building Canada Fund.
