As I mentioned a few days ago I was told by one of the impacted companies that officials from the Canadian Ministry of Trade will be visiting Ecuador shortly to help out in this process.
I have just fired off a quick note to Mr.Emerson and I encourage you all to do the same. It can only help and certainly can't hurt.

Here is what I wrote :
Dear Mr.Emerson
As you are well aware, numerous Canadian companies are in negotiation of a new mining law in Ecuador as we speak. I implore you on behalf of these companies, their employees and investors across our nation to stay involved in this process so that a fair and equitable resolution is arrived at. I heard through a reliable source that you or other members of you ministry will be heading to Ecuador shortly to assist in this process.
Can you please confirm this?
Thank you for your help in this serious matter.
