Teck should take notice that currently there is a great opportunity to start construction of the mine at Schaft Creek as oil prices have plumeted and there is a huge supply of experienced labour that has been laid off in Alberta.

The variety of experience and skills from the oil patch is immense. Teck surely would look at that as a chance to shift their focus to BC for the near term while construction costs are low. Premier Clark has issued a call for BC workers in Alberta to "come home" and work in BC.

I'm sure the mining companies and LNG developers have informed her that attracting talent from Alberta has been an expensive endeavor prior to the oil collapse. So she has gone on the air to bring them back at the perfect time.

Hopefully, Teck and Clark have their ducks in a row... because the opportune time is NOW.
