EDO Merlin; NIRB denied the appication for increase for lacking environmental commitment, but the Minister with QIA approved it for Economic Impact, Whats going on? Co-op had more economic impact than Baffinland did in Igloolik.

Dominic: if the health of the people were to be effected by the mine, what kind of implamentation are there for this kind of situation? There are health concerns.
