If you actually read the articles that are posted here you would realise the following has already been said by a united voice of Matawa:
"David Paul Achneepineskum is the Chief Executive Officer for Matawa First Nations Management and says they are really building the foundation first, before they can begin discussions and, more importantly, negotiations.
Achneepineskum says there are still many factors to consider, “We have four pillars that we want to address and agree upon. One is environment, the other is revenue sharing, and there’s also infrastructure and community and social economic impacts.”
Some of the major discussions in the past have centred on whether the best way to transport chromite out of the Ring of Fire is by rail or road.
Achneepineskum says they are more supportive of using roads as it would connect more First Nations communities with all-weather roads.
There are nine First Nations potentially impacted by this mining deposit development and Achneepineskum says, “If the mine is going to go beyond 25-30 years and we see a feasibility of a rail line being put there, certainly that’s something we can look at in the future. But I don’t feel that’s a priority right now.”
Alan Coutts agreed with that point of view."
