Also in regards to your post about Talisman. I think that these companies must understand the importance of moving forward as well. They all took the time to go to the BAPE meetings and understand that Quebec is an infant and wants to learn. Let's me honest, these guys have tens of billions of dollars under their feet and I don't think they're going to be turned off by this.

The government allowing drilling under supervision is still a green light to them and the idea of a moratorium is as Mr. Arcand said, inaction...so they can rule that out which I know QEC was very happy about. As Arcand said, they could have done a moratorium, but they didn't recommened one.

So my thoughts are that TLM will meet them half way and continue drilling (or in this case fracing the wells that are done for now, and then move forward as they said from there). This would definitely be meeting them halfway and not to mention allowing them to do their work which is neccessary. Them stopping would just mean less work for the study or no work, and then that slows down the study dramatically. I think they want to get this done as fast as they can, but doing it responsibly and making sure they have adequate knowledge on the issue ie. Enough wells to study.

I think Mr. Bouchard is smart enough to see this and will ask TLM to maybe see the positive and give that cooperation and transperency. This is frankly the only thing I can see that will lead to a few things...a study done quicker, keeping on pace with seeing if Quebec is commercial...and most importantly gaining social acceptability from the committee and most important the people that live on top of those lands that we need to drill on.
