The 2022 Ontario general election was held on June 2, 2022 to elect the 124 members of the 43rd Parliament of Ontario. The Progressive Conservative (PC) Party of Ontario, led by Doug Ford, won a majority government with 83 of the 124 seats in the legislature. The incumbent party, they increased their seat share from 76 in the 2018 election. They campaigned on a slogan to “get it done,” pledging to build highways and transit infrastructure and open up the “Ring of Fire,” a mineral-rich area in northern Ontario. Instead of an election platform, the Ontario PC Party presented its promises on its website in the form of press releases throughout the campaign.

Promise History

1.11.23 - “A PC Government will, finally, open up the incredible resources of our North by cutting through the special interest and bureaucratic delays blocking us from developing the Ring of Fire”

Justification

The government has reached new agreements with Webequie and Marten Falls First Nations on the road needed to build the Ring of Fire. However, the government continues to face opposition to the project from members of Neskantaga and Attawapiskat First Nations. As a result, little progress has been made on its development. The promise remains in progress.

“Premier Doug Ford and Greg Rickford, Minister of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry, joined Chief Bruce Achneepineskum of Marten Falls First Nation and Chief Cornelius Wabasse of Webequie First Nation to celebrate a historic milestone to unlocking jobs and economic opportunities in the Ring of Fire region. Today, Marten Falls and Webequie First Nations announced they will be submitting a Terms of Reference for the proposed Northern Road Link Environmental Assessment. This proposed road is the final piece of critical road infrastructure needed to ensure reliable, all season road access to potential mining sites in the Ring of Fire and connect both First Nations communities to Ontario’s highway network.”

“A court hearing this week sparked by Attawapiskat First Nation in northern Ontario could have big implications for the development of the Ring of Fire. The First Nation says it wasn’t properly consulted about exploration by mining company Juno in its traditional territory and is seeking an injunction.”

“Premier Doug Ford and Kenora MP Greg Rickford, the minister of energy, mines, northern development and Indigenous affairs signed an agreement Monday with Webequie and Marten Falls First Nations to move forward with a north-south road to the Ring of Fire. […] But not everyone is happy with the announcement. Members of Neskantaga First Nation will fight the development, Chief Chris Moonias told CBC.”
