Proposals Outline Economic Zone and Infrastructure Boost for Northern Ontario
What happened
Dylan Marando outlined proposals for Northern Ontario, including establishing a northern economic opportunity zone and a dedicated treatment centre in Northwestern Ontario. The proposed zone would offer lower personal and corporate income taxes and faster project approvals. Marando also suggested twinning several northern highways, such as Highways 69, 11, and 17, to improve the movement of goods.
