These guys go out, stake their claim, develop a mine and prove that it is financially viable, and then they sit there and wait, and it is not one year, not two years, not three years, not four years: they are waiting five or six years in order to get the environmental process completed, an environmental process that is stacked upon province and federal.
Les entreprises obtiennent une concession minière, aménagent une mine et prouvent qu'elle est financière viable, puis elles attendent, non pas un an, deux ans, trois ans ou quatre ans, mais cinq ou six ans, que l'évaluation environnementale soit faite.
