I believe if it sounds too good to be true than it probably is. I am thinking this is just another concocted script possibly by Gina Rinehart and Robin Campbell, past PC politician and present President of the Coal Association of Canada. How about the money for the few week (weak) "study" comes from an invested party, and.... the study comes out magically just like Hancock/Northback predicted? That sure would stop any controversy and Morgan,  president of the Alberta Energy Regulator, can once again override ANY Public Consultation from any knowledgeable groups,  like CPAWS and Alberta Wilderness Association that only want to protect the environment for future generations.  Nope. I have little to no faith a government that has repetitively demonstrated lack of transparency and actions that side with foreign industry over their own citizens has suddenly seen the light and decided to walk the path of righteousness.  Time will tell as it always does.

Great to see the first nations shaking off the stigma of coercion with the greedy Australian mafia, huge advance in the stoppage of all coal forever.

We need to make noise at all levels of government, because it is likely that at least one won't listen.

A wise move that everyone should follow - including Crowsnest Headwaters.

Let the company do the Environmental work so it can be assessed in public.

I don't think Northback is asking for anything more.
