By JDR, ( the wize).

This is consultation. Refusal by the FN to listen or reply does not qualify in my opinion of non-consultation. I will note that there are tribes that have been constructive or at least silent Franco-Nevada, Noront, RCF, the Province and Feds have decided to continue to move forward which signals to me that they feel their obligations have been met. The aforementioned parties are all intelligent players (some more intelligent than others) so they don't make moves unless they know what the next steps are.

Now the ball will be put into play soon and it be best for all players to take the field. Shouting from the sidelines is rarely heard by the players once the game gets started.

I am looking forward to upcoming the announcements incoming weeks and months. ......JDR, (mar27, 2015.; still with us.   {Welcome back, JDR, Peter}
