My concern is as follows: We never get any information or consultations by the Alberta or Federal governments on down stream effects. The Athabasca River flows into the Slave River which is right by my community, which is right by the NWT/Alberta border. [The] Alberta government seems to think that once the water leaves their jurisdiction, that they don't have any responsibilities. Dead wrong. We did not create the problem. One rich province can not destroy the environment for everyone else in Canada. They must change their thinking on this matter.
