Absolutely not.
I just want to clarify that I thought the question about funding for my position was for our entire organization.
We're not funded in any way by the Government of Canada or the mining industry, so we have other sources of funding: donors, individuals, member associations and foundations. The foundations that pay my salary are the Echo Foundation and the Trottier Family Foundation, both of which are Montreal-based. I am in no way here at the behest of American interests.
