The First Nation called on Osisko and the provincial government on November 7 to halt the project until a resolution is reached. The First Nation claims negotiations with Osisko have been "unproductive", with "very minimal progress" made in addressing the Nation’s concerns. He has warned that any permits issued without addressing the Nation’s concerns would be “highly vulnerable to legal challenges”.
