I am in fact in agreement with this principle.
What is the principle when we undertake negotiations? What pitfalls are to be avoided and what principles must be upheld that we cannot compromise on? We can make compromises, but we cannot compromise our principles. When we are negotiating, of course, that means that there is give and take. However, there are principles that we cannot back down on, though we can accept changes or compromises elsewhere if need be.
In your experience, on what principle or principles should negotiations rest that would be to the advantage of the resource, and potentially to Canada?
