Message: Aggregate Act and ROF connection in legislature

On Oct 6 Ontario introduced the Aggregate Resources and Mining Modernization Act which seems to have connections to the ROF for the needed aggregates for a road....

AGGREGATE RESOURCES AND
MINING MODERNIZATION ACT, 2016

Most people—and me included, before we really
started to look into this—probably don’t realize just how
much aggregate materials are required every year to
support our economy and industry in building this great
province.
Aggregate materials include such things as sand,
gravel, crushed stone, building stone and shale. Some
160 metric tonnes are produced in Ontario per year to
build our roads, bridges, homes, hospitals, schools,
parliamentary buildings—everything you can think of,
Mr. Speaker. It’s a foundational industry.
It is estimated that on average, each one of us here
uses somewhere between 10 and 15 tonnes of aggregate
per year. That’s equivalent to one full truckload. Clearly,
we are very dependent on it. We all use it, we all need it
and we all benefit from it......

p49 We want to ensure that the modernization—and,
something like the Ring of Fire. What we need there, Mr.
Speaker, is to simply see action, not just more talk and,
really, empty announcements that we’re moving forward.

p57 He also spoke about—respectful, fair, consistent. He
talked about the need for these things—the Ring of
Fire—about mining. The Ring of Fire: As I said in my
remarks, I want to see something happen with the Ring of
Fire; I don’t want to just have more press conferences
and more announcements. We need to actually get
shovels in the ground and utilize that resource that could
have a huge impact on our whole province. He talked
about infrastructure needs....

The Ring of Fire, granted, is a multi-generational
economic development opportunity estimated at about

$60 billion. So we think that is a very, very positive
opportunity that Ontarians have. We continue to work
very hard to see that resource developed in northern
Ontario.

p60 We are puzzled with what has happened with respect
to the Ring of Fire. Hopefully, the legislation that’s
coming in today isn’t going to add any unnecessary rules
or regulations or ridiculous delay, as we’ve seen with that
particular development, or lack of development. It’s
unfortunate that one of the richest deposits of chromite in
the world—there’s something like $60 billion of
chromite sitting up there, not to mention nickel, copper,
zinc and platinum. And there’s a big question, and we
don’t understand this in the south: What is the holdup?
Why is this not going forward?

The Acting Speaker (Mr. Ted Arnott): Further
debate?
Mr. Paul Miller: Today we’re debating Bill 39, An
Act to amend the Aggregate Resources Act and the
Mining Act.....
