David Wilks at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

I'd like a little clarification. I sit at the back door of Teck Resources Limited and I watch the Elkview pit being utilized to its maximum every day.

I wonder if you could clarify a little the definition of “minor variance”. My definition of a minor variance would be a change to a blast pattern based on waste rock versus haul material. You wouldn't have to go through an application to change that; it would be a mining decision of that company.

Could you give me a definition of minor variance that you have a concern with?
