Attawapiskat, Fort Albany and Neskantaga First Nations have demanded a halt to the Environmental Assessment until meaningful consultation can be done. This would require in-person meetings (after the pandemic), fair process, and adequate exchange of information.
Three cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in the community of Neskantaga.
Some business analysts are predicting that after the pandemic there will be a “commodities super-cycle” and that an increase of mineral extraction is anticipated. Sault Ste. Marie has been designated as a “foreign trade zone” (FTZ), which means that it will be exempt from many duties, tariffs and taxes for businesses that import and export from the city; this will mean a lot more foreign businesses will want to buy from the area.
