Merlin asks what kind of impact the dust from the road has had on the environment and what will happen if baffinland starts to stock pile iron ore at the shore what kind of plan they have for the oxidation of the ore.
Paul Ivalu saying that Nunavut Drivers license is not valid at the mine site suggest that be fixed.
has a class 3 license. Recognized in Nunavut, but when they apply to Baffinland their license is not recognized at all. Even when he applies to Baffinland, the only way I can be a driver is to learn as I go. He doesn’t think it’s only him. This has to be fixed somehow.
Zacharias concerned about the drinking water near and down streem of the mine, and the livelyhood of the workers in the camp itself, and the sudden change of the rail plan.
Theo Ikummaq commenting about the animals being impacted by the exploration before the mine started and the contaminated water going to the lakes that the hunters fish at.
They have set a quota that they want to meet and the rail will help them meet the quota of so many tonnes and it would be better for the community of Pond Inlet for the rail to go to Steensby and not to Milne, and I would want the HTO to oversee the condition of the ice when time comes to shipping the ore.
There are a few things that are not clear, the studies that they do about the animals and the enivornment it would help if we have access to the reports that are done. and I would suggest having more knowledge about the impact the mine has on the Narwals.
It is written that we have until Febuary 21 to voice our concerns, I wonder if we can have a consultation with QIA, NTI, Government of Nunavut so that they also hear our concerns and be more involved.
