The province is about to act on some of the key recommendations of the Rosehart Report.
The report - which identified ways of improving the northern Ontario's economy - was released more than a year ago. Northern Development Minister Michael Gravelle says expect some announcements soon.
"When it was brought forward by Dr. Rosehart, it responded to the needs of northeastern and northwestern Ontario," says Gravelle. "This, the timing is more important than ever before."
Gravelle says other parts of the Rosehart report have already been implemented, such as lower business education taxes and increased funding for winter roads and northern highway maintenance.
