If I understand correctly, you weren't really consulted on Bill C‑61. For the past two decades, your community has been asking the federal government to do a health study. You asked again in 2019, when Teck Resources was planning to set up operations nearby. Neighbouring communities have asked for the same thing. Your community has reached out to the federal government numerous times, but to no avail.
What reasons did the federal government—whether it be Health Canada or Fisheries and Oceans Canada—give you for its lack of action or concern in response to your request?
