CEC can't provide evidence for consultation
The BCEAO cover letter to Tapics explains that the overarching reason the application was turned down was a lack of sufficient evidence for claims of consultation with stakeholders. CEC "consultations" were limited to dog and pony slide shows of the same general PR material currently found on its website or a single conference call. Hiring a FN person to work at the mine site, for example, is touted as working closely with the FN groups to ensure their needs are being met. If stockholders had read the public comments to the draftAIR and the charge that stakeholder issues raised by the BCSGA, Working Group, local governments and Hornby/DenmanLocal Trust Councils, Watershed groups and a number of First Nations groups were not addressed in the final AIR, a multitude of red flags would have been raised.
