We don't have any additional information on their CSR initiatives beyond what they've shared with us or with this committee.
Some of the utterances of Nevsun about the lack of ability they have to engage with the Government of Eritrea and to engage with their subcontractor would set off some alarm bells for me in terms of those CSR numbers. What is their methodology? Are they free to genuinely collect this information, or is it all just a case of trying to get some numbers on a piece of paper to show that they are doing something? I think those would be excellent questions to ask Nevsun.
Voluntary disclosure and voluntary monitoring of processes are the first step. We would like governments, including the Canadian government, to take it one step further and actually do some monitoring themselves, or at least ensure that the methodology being used is sound and that they are genuinely trying to minimize their adverse impacts.
