From: Bob Laidlaw [laidlawb@rogers.com] Sent: December 6, 2008 2:24 PM To: lpayette@nirb.ca Subject: Uravan Garry Lake Project Please register my strong opposition to Uravan’s plans for mineral development on the calving grounds of the Beverly caribou. I do not object to all mining activities but surely there are other places one could mine other than a calving ground. Northern and other species in this country are already being stressed enough by human activity and global factors such as Global Warming. I do not think we needlessly should add to those stresses. Please act to protect the Beverly Caribou and not allow this one instance of mining to take place. Thank you for considering my request. R.K. Laidlaw 980 Gold Crescent Ottawa, Ontario K2B 8C5
