Sandra Pupatello. That name rang a bell for me today.
I remember she was in China with McGuinty Nov.3-4, 2010 talking about Chromite. I'll paste the article again at the very end of this post. Remember they met with Citic and subsequently Jan. 19, 2011 , China opened their first North American headquarters on Bay St.
Well, it looks to me that Sandra will be overseeing some big investment into Canada. Wonder what it can be?Anyone else smell Chinese instrastructure money coming.
All I can say is I hope Noront gets a Ring of Fire discount for also using the services of PWC. One of our directors at Noront Darren Blasutti, also worked at PWC.

McGuinty Meets with Chairman Li Ka-shing and CEO Eric Huang
Leaders from Hong Kong's business community met Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty and ministers Sandra Pupatello and Michael Chan to discuss investment opportunities in Ontario.
Premier McGuinty spoke at a reception hosted by the Canada-Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce. Guests included leaders in mining and financial services. McGuinty credited Ontario's strong financial services sector for helping it weather the global recession better than most other economies. He also talked about the government's plans to develop the Ring of Fire, an area in Northern Ontario that contains one of the world's largest chromite deposits.
