Thank you for the question. I heard that being asked in the earlier session before I joined about whether there were any legal challenges, and I was a little bit puzzled by that because legal challenges are costly and so not all community members, citizens, residents or indigenous communities have access to funds to bring forward legal challenges, and so it does seem strange that it would be the only avenue by which people are able to raise concerns.
Definitely what I was saying earlier about giving people the opportunity to raise concerns about the project...and it's not just to raise concerns. I and other people I have worked with in communities have been through consultation processes with projects and they're often one-sided. That raises concerns about this process and what's been happening today and the ability to have a discussion about the concerns that I've raised.
It's not just about consultation. It's about actually listening to what people say and the concerns they have raised and actually seeing that reflected in the final decision.
