On Monday, Ford wrote to Prime Minister Mark Carney to identify the “nation-building” projects in Ontario he would like the federal government to support by streamlining approvals.
The letter includes gaining all-season access to the mineral-rich Ring of Fire in northern Ontario, new nuclear generation projects and a new deep-sea port in James Bay.
Also on the list of projects Ford said would take the country forward was his government’s controversial plan to build a 50-kilometre expressway below Highway 401.
