What an absolute waste of ink ---Any letter to anyone about YESAB is a waste of ink.
Here's the response i got from John Streicker office. I should have known it would be a waste of ink...and i didn't even use ink!!!! If anyone else has any recommendations, i'd appreciate. I just feel like wasting more ink and can add this boards ink to my message!
"Thank you for reaching out to Minister Streicker and sharing your concerns regarding the YESAB Executive Committee’s decision to further delay issuance of the Environmental and Socio-economic Guidelines for the Casino Mine Project. Your query on YESAB’s views of the extension is better directed to YESAB, specifically the YESAB Executive Committee (
Bryony.McIntyre@yesab.ca;
Dennis.Nicloux@yesab.ca), Acting Chair (
Kirk.Cameron@yesab.ca) and Executive Director (
Kent.Bretzlaff@yesab.ca)."
Here's my response to that message
"I will. It appears that YESAB is not accountable to anyone…they can make up their own rules, push timelines without recourse, etc.
In private business, missing deadlines costs companies’ money but I suppose things work differently in government.
Is it best to also reach out to
Dan Vandal as the person who appoints the board? Is that who the board is supposed to be accountable to?
Sorry for my ignorance --- you can understand how private investors a total lack of confidence in how the permitting process have governed in the Yukon.
One could easily say this is far from a streamlined and efficient process and should prevent Yukon from being deemed “open for business” from a mining standpoint."
