The development of infrastructure is critical. It's absolutely something that has to happen.
Natural Resources Canada estimates that exploration costs for a remote site are 10 times what they are for a site that's beside a road. If we're truly going to see the potential of northern Ontario, we have to get some development up there.
That's something Quebec realized about 35 years ago. If you look at the road network in northern Quebec, northern Saskatchewan, northern Manitoba, and northern British Columbia, you see that thousands of kilometres of roads have been built in these northern regions so that the provinces and the country as a whole can benefit from further exploration and mineral resource development.
It has to happen.
