Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau are on the same page with a position that Canada will not be compromising on tariffs.

Construction of the project would create hundreds of new, full-time jobs and support Ontario’s emerging end-to-end critical mineral supply chain.

Canadian Home Builders' Association CEO Kevin Lee said in Ottawa on Tuesday that the U.S. tariffs on Canada will have a "muted" impact on the industry on their own.

Ford added that he wants to get rid of free trade barriers between provinces, speed up infrastructure and mineral extraction approvals and build oil and gas pipelines "east, west and north."

Refinements to the plan include minor changes to road right-of-ways and development blocks to further optimize site layout and traffic patterns.
