I understand that tectol, but it really doesn't matter. It isn't up to radio's or enviornmentalists with the decision to move forward...that decisions has already been made. We are now just waiting on some legislation and recommendations on how to move forward.

The government has already shut down an official vote to a moratorium...frankly one doesn't even make sense since the potential of Quebec hasn't been identified properly. What would be the point on making them wait to drill exploration wells.

The BAPE is to advise the gov't on how to proceed forward, not if to proceed.

I read a great artcile on the mining industry...read this:

Talks about how the mining industry had so much opposition, now they are being supported.

If I've seen one common denominator, no matter where you go in the world, you will always have people against any time of drilling etc...the thing is they are not allowed to make up their own facts or fudge stories...governments are in place to move an economy and society forward, and that's what they are doing here...no matter what party is in place.
