I am deeply concerned about the devastating loss of traditional lands and territories already suffered by the people of Grassy Narrows.
After losing land and livelihood to flooding, mercury poisoning and clear-cut logging, the community has clearly and emphatically rejected further industrial development in their traditional territory. Yet, your government has continued to license new logging operations without addressing the concerns of the community.
I call upon you to respect the human rights of the people of Grassy Narrows. I urge you to suspend logging and other resource development until the community's consent has been given and its rights protected.
