While he’s not calling for the downfall of the Wynne government, a northern First Nations leader says the Ontario budget falls short. Grand Chief Harvey Yesno of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation says he sees nothing about infrastructure spending to accomodate both the Ring of Fire mining project and First Nation communities. He says the budget doesn’t speak about building transmission lines or constructing all weather roads Chief Yesno says he’ll have to study the budget more closely before deciding what the fate of the minority liberals should be.
