unfortunately  there is  no  requirement for First  Nations  objections to  be  responsible , articulate  or have  any  basis in science  or  even law ....basically  inventing a fantasy  that  animals  might be harmed  is  enough to derail a  project  ....my opinion is that  the  majority  of  First  Nations  objections are nothing but  a SHAKE  DOWN  

Also  how hard can it be to  simply  write  a  specification on what  constitutes  full  and proper consultation....instead our courts  and government  continue to keep  what  should  be a  clear  and  simple process   a  guessing game  that can only  discourage  any  sort of  future  development
