RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Robbery is taking place, with respect to ARC Post facts not hearsay. There is a HUGE silver lining for those who can and do partner with First Nations.
Treaty 8 leaders are quoted wanting to partner on development and want a seat at the table of future development - nothing wrong with that.
Yahey also emphasized that his members are open to industrial development so long as it is done sustainably and with Indigenous approval, with an eye to balancing environmental needs along with economic ones.
"If this is done right, there's plenty of work for everyone."
That sentiment was echoed by other Treaty 8 First Nation leaders who joined Yahey, including the elected chiefs of the West Moberly, Salteau, Doig River and Fort Nelson First Nations.
"We're not against development. We want to be part of our economies," said Fort Nelson First Nation Chief Sharleen Gale. "It gives us an opportunity to work collaboratively to determine how future generations will benefit from this land."

Enough with your bashing. Arc is well regarded in this area and has worked alongside First Nations and their communities for years. The big names (which arc is now one) have the corporate levels to help establish these more complex partnerships - we are seeing more and more partnerships.

These partnerships are good for all stakeholders. The small companies will be the ones who likely struggle (your source?) - which is actually good for Arc and their future acquisitions and expansion.
There is always a silver lining.
