So there were other routes
contemplated, and it was determined that the 690-kilometre route around the lake from Taltson to the diamond mines was the most feasible route to take. That I can understand, Mr. Chairman. What I can’t understand is Mr. McLeod telling us that even though this proposed route and this project have gone to environmental assessment, we could change the route with little impact. To me, you would be starting off from square one again if you then change the route to some completely different direction.
The environmental issues that you would encounter and that you would deal with and assess would be completely different than the route that’s being proposed. So I’d like to ask Minister McLeod, then, if his offering to Members of the Assembly who have asked to have input at some time wouldn’t have been just a little overly generous to suggest that we could change the routing later.
