I can appreciate what you are feeling. This is the right thing to do. We are complying with the law and we have also gone out of our way to keep our employees and communities on our side, with a voluntary support payment that is going to be spread over several months. If anything, this is going to complement your and other lobbying efforts from outside the country as the level of pro-mining and anti-mandate demonstrations in Ecuador are only going to increase, which is another form of pressure on the government to do the right thing and do it as quickly as they can.
