Mid-campaign statement suggests Ottawa won’t reject NIRB’s advice
The Nunavut Impact Review Board’s recommendation to deny approval of Areva Canada’s Kiggavik uranium project should be “respected,” Conservative candidate Leona Aglukkaq said in a written statement Aug. 28.
“There is a lot of discussion on the proposed Kiggavik uranium project and I want to assure Nunavummiut that I will continue to advocate that the NIRB’s recommendations always be respected, including in this case,” Aglukkaq said.
Aglukkaq issued the written statement during a campaign visit to Baker Lake, about 80 km from the Kiggavik site.
