One of the first things I would say is that the first nations people have lived in this area for thousands of years and that we are part of the environment. The environmental assessment shouldn't take into account an approval process just for a mine to go ahead, but it should take into account our people, who have lived on and worked these lands.
We have an economy there, whether people believe it or not. To be removed from that site is something that we're not going to stand for anymore. For example, our language in the southern part of this region is getting lost, so this is going to happen at the same time.
How is that going to be compensated for? What kind of mitigation measures need to be put in place? This is why this environmental assessment is very important for us. We need to have our people be able to say their piece, address their concerns, and see how any of their concerns are going to be mitigated through a process. The comprehensive study review will not allow that.
