The MP for Thunder Bay-Rainy River is calling for talks to discuss a proposed mine in northeastern Minnesota.
Twin Metals is planning to locate the copper-nickel mine within the Boundary Waters Wilderness Area along the Ontario-Minnesota border.
Don Rusnak says Ottawa has requested that Canada be formally consulted on the project since there is the concern of the potential impact on the Canadian boundary waters and all communities in the watershed area.
An Ely-based group which is fighting the project was recently in Fort Frances to raise awareness of the potential impacts to the local environment.
