RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:April 14 & 15 Federal Final Cree Nations Consultation
I appreciate the concern that the meeting yesterday was not well attended -- that said, I am not phased by that fact at all. The Feds put out the notice weeks ago and were likely in direct touch with the Cree community in advance of the notice. Everyone who is interested in this project from a business, environmental or communal perspective has known of this meeting for some time. The sparse attendance may simply imply that there is no real further feedback from the community. Remember -- this is simply the last in a very very very long series of community consultations. This process is years in the making and having few participants and few comments at this time tells me that the Feds have properly collected what they need from interested parties already.
As for being left in the dust - the EV and electrification revolution is in its first inning. We are more likely in the first few years of a 50+ year trend where EVs, battery farms etc become ubiquitious. There is no chance we are left in the dust...we will participate in this revolution.
