I am a physician and health researcher working in Nunavik. I am an Associate Professor of Medicine at McGill University. I am very concerned that Nunavik Inuit have not been adequately and specifically consulted about this project, which will clearly impact their environment, their wildlife, their health and the well-being of Nunavik communities. Moreover, as a physician, I am concerned about the multiple negative consequences such miningcan have on health in the short, medium and long term.
