Jon Butler, MPP Mike Brown and Minister of Natural Resources Linda Jeffrey in Whitefish Falls moments before Vale surrendered Willisville Mountain from their aggregate license #20568. 

Algoma-Manitoulin MPP Mike Brown called the development exceptional.

  “Whenever you walk into a room of 100 people, there is always at least one that is opposed to what you are doing,” the veteran MPP said. “Today that wasn’t the case. Everybody was on the same page.

  “It can’t be anything but positive to have solved a problem before it occurred. Jon and his group deserve a lot of credit for getting that positive result. It’s a great thing not just for Willisville Mountain, but Ontario and Canada, too.”
