Ministry of Northern Development and Mines
(MNDM)
The Ministry of Northern Development and Mines is
the only regional ministry within the government and plays a central
role in northern affairs. We have strengthened the ministry to focus
on delivering front line services in the North. The Ministry is
also more active at Queen's Park, working to ensure that decisions
for Northern Ontario make sense in the North.
MNDM also supports the mineral industry by providing it with valuable
information about the province's geology. It also delivers and administers
Ontario's Mining Act to improve the investment climate for mineral
development.
