The green party candidate in Nipissing-Timiskaming says the key to developing the Ring of Fire is transportation.
Nicole Peltier says we need commercial and industrial rail service to serve the chromite site so that it can be accessible to developers and workers. She would like to reopen discussion with the provincial government and get the ONTC involved by refurbishing rail cars.
Peltier is running against NDP Candidate Kathleen Jodouin, Conservative Candidate Jay Aspin, and Liberal Candidate Anthony Rota. Election Day is October 19th.
