Submission to the BHP Diamond Mine Environmental Assessment Panel (Management North Limited, December 1995)
Management North Limited submits a letter to the BHP Diamond Mine Environmental Assessment Panel supporting approval of the BHP diamond mining project, arguing that the North urgently needs non-renewable resource development to address economic hardship and employment needs. The letter contextualizes this position within the North's history of managing resource development since the Berger Inquiry and emphasizes the balance between economic benefits and manageable environmental impacts.
