"What we need right now is to get the work done. There's already been a study so why not use that study? The roads are going to go in the same place, so let's spend that $780,000 on infrastructure."

To put a positive spin on this, it appears that letting the FN banty this about for a while is a good way to get them on board? Let them be the masters of their own destiny.

Frankly i would not want the job of dealing with the FN, even if I was a beurocrat and used to the slow pace of progress in the federal or provincial civil service.....most people's careers only last 30 years so how many years can you afford to spin your wheels?
