This is why the Northern Ontario Party’s main platform is to establish a Northern Ontario Manufacturing Policy. The Northern Ontario Party’s first elected member will introduce legislation requiring at least 50% of Northern Ontario’s natural resources from mining and forestry, to be fully manufactured in Northern Ontario.
