We are disappointed that conditions for approval are being proposed when the Panel Report clearly states that there will be significant negative environmental effects, and does not address the reliability of projected benefits that would allow those effects to be deemed “justifiable under the circumstances.” It is even more concerning that the Proposed Conditions do not describe any mechanisms to ensure compliance and implementation beyond recognising the Proponent’s obligation to obey existing laws and regulations.

I don't support the current proposed mine proceeding because of the Joint Review Panel's report, which states that the mine will cause adverse environmental effects despite the mitigation measures being proposed. I am specifically concerned about the planned discharges to Biigtig Ziibi during mine closure. I also don't believe the mine (in its curent proposal) should proceed due to the Panel's statement that there will be significant adverse enviironmental and cumulative effects on Biigtigong Nishnaabeg's current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes, physical and cultural heritage, and health and socio-economic conditions. I am also concerned about the panel's expectation that the mine will cause adverse impacts on Lake Sturgeon habitat in Biggtig Ziibi,Little Brown Myotis,Northern Myotis,Woodland Caribou Habitat and Connectivity (Significant) and Eastern Whip-Poor-Will.

This will bring employment & economic prosperity for BN and the Town of Marathon. With the global green initiative being implemented and the need for critical minerals to make this plan succeed, in the timelines set by Canada and other nations, action must be taken swiftly in an environmentally responsible way.

I presented to the panel on the importance of having a robust community benefits agreement and those comments are reflected in part in the following: Recommendation 82: GenPGM should provide sufficient financial support to fund key community services or organizations in support of fitness and recreational programs for workers. These programs should be carried out in existing facilities. Recommendation 83: The Proponent should work with the Town of Marathon to establish an oversight committee comprising local and regional citizens that would have access to Project reporting and regular Project updates. GenPGM should work with the Town to identify an agreed level of funding to support the operation of the committee. A community benefits agreement would not only establish proponent funded tangible benefits beyond short term employment, but would also provide a mechanism through which the proponent's ...

In addition to members from the Marathon municipal government and the Biigtigong government, the committee must have members with a proven interest in and knowledge of environmental issues. The Marathon Municipal government does not have a track record of being concerned about environmental issues. For example, faced with an increase cost to the recycling program in (approximately) 2020, the Marathon municipal government simply cancelled the entire household ...

I agree with the administration of my town, Marathon, that we ought to strive to be "responsible stewards of our future and ensure that economic and social sustainability for our grandchildren and future generations are at the fore, while at the same time we are respecting the lands which we live upon." Federal and provincial governments struggle to oversee the environmental performance of mines, mills and industry, generally. Let's support the government and citizens with an independent oversight committee. A pulp mill just a short distance up the shore of the world's biggest lake is notorious for polluting the lake. Let's do better with this project. Let's be leaders by setting up an oversight committee that can ensure robust oversight. When the pulp mill in my town closed, I (like the other employees) was left with a small part of my expected pension. Again, governments struggle to provide effective ...

I'm not opposed to the mine but have not at all been convinced that it's an environmentally sound plan. Kevin Morin's geohydrology findings are extremely concerning. At present, I'm not confident that the mine is in the best long-term interests of the town and the province does not enforce penalties for environmental violations adequately. To give some semblance of accountability for a company that will pack up and walk away in about a decade (leaving the land worse than they found it by any standard), an independent oversight committee is critical. This committee (as put forth in the review process) needs to have members who are not involved in any level or form of government in order to be truly independent, and there must be guaranteed funding for the committee (from the mine) for the life of the project. Simply trusting that the mine will operate in the best long-term interests of our town can't be our plan.

The green revolution is trying to omit harmful emissions from machinery by replacing gas with electric power. I think everyone would love for the green movement to be implemented as soon as possible. Cars emissions account for almost 25% of co2 emissions in the environment and that is in countries that monitor and regulate emissions like Canada does. Other countries do not have the infrastructure to gather such data and inforce such rules. How do we get to the point that rids mother earth of 25% co2 and gives our children a better cleaner future? Well the main things we need are minerals to achieve those goals. If we all keep saying no to sustainable mining then the least we can do is go back to horses and carriages. We need companies like Genpgm that is managed by a very environmentally conscious management team, we need First Nation officials involved not only to ensure economic benefits but also to help keep things sustainable and ...
