Extract uit een schrijven van een Canadian politicus (MP; Member of Parliament)die reageerde op de vraag van een Noront-investor of de Canadese overheid bij wil dragen aan de bouw van een railway naar de ROF. Als je ziet welke bedragen er beschikbaar worden gesteld dan is die anderhalve miljard die KWG nodig denkt te hebben een haalbare zaak!!!denk dat dit helemaal goed gaat komen.....
"The Government of Canada is taking action and is making strategic investments in infrastructure that contribute to our economy, job creation and strong and prosperous communities. The $33-billion Building Canada plan represents the largest federal commitment to public infrastructure ever.
In Budget 2009, the government committed to streamline approvals and accelerate investments under Building Canada. Also, Budget 2009 provides almost $12 billion in new infrastructure stimulus funding over two years.
The Building Canada Communities Component, which has been increased by $500 million over the next two years for projects that can be built by 2011. The Communities Component of the Building Canada Fund provides targeted support to small communities.
You propose various infrastructure investment initiatives, some of which appear to be eligible for funding under the following federal infrastructure programs:
additional funding will be made available for projects that can complete construction in the next two years. As is the case for all projects under the Communities Component, funding for these additional projects will be cost-shared with provinces and municipalities.
Budget 2009 also established the $4-billion Infrastructure Stimulus Fund, which will provide funding to shovel-ready provincial, territorial and municipal infrastructure projects which can be completed during the 2009 and 2010 construction seasons.
This government is committed to building a modern public infrastructure for Canada.
Sincerely,
John Baird, P.C., M.P."
